3. DESCRIPTION OF TEST FACILITY

Test 4DBA1 simulates conditions in the peak power bundle of BWR/4-218 after a double-ended large break in one of the recirculation suction lines. The BWR/4 break size is much larger than the corresponding BWR/6 break. The scaled break sizes are 1.065 in.^2 in the suction line and 0.1645 in.^2 at the drive line nozzle based on the single bundle FIST scaling. The initial power of 6.09 MW simulates a peak power bundle.

4. DESCRIPTION OF TEST

BWR/4 ECCS injection locations, flow rates and initiations are simulated. Failure of a single diesel generator is assumed, resulting in the loss of one LPCI pump. The test is conducted with one HPCI, one LPCS and two LPCI. The HPCI injects water into the system through the feedwater line, the LPCI is connected to the intact drive line and the LPCS injects into the upper plenum.
