Steam generator models are very simplistic and p'robably could easily be improved.

3.

Operating a transient code without the RCP trip points built in to obtain results to prove a point seems to be a waste of time.

Voiding of the candy cane with RCP trip may lead to different conclusions.

Until a method of interpretation is available to the operator, he will not knew whether he has a small break or an overcooling.

A number of simple methods come to mind.

1) Heat Removal By S.G. compared to power.
2) Time rate of change of cold leg teg.
