Nuclear Reactor Load Rejection Test

The Load rejection test is performed whenever a modification is made to an existing reactor model. It involves a transient from 100% to 50% steady state power in 12 seconds, typically with a control rod insertion. This test incorporates the changing Neutronic Kinetics model, the Thermal-Hydraulic, Model. Control systems, and the actuation of one system affecting all others.
