Abstract
Lungmen nuclear power plant (NPP) is the first ABWR (Advanced Boiling Water Reactor) in Taiwan and still under construction. It has two identical units with 3,926 MWt rated thermal power each and 52.2×106 kg/hr rated core flow. The core has 872 bundles of GE14 fuel, and the steam flow is 7.637×106 kg/hr at rated power. According to the chapter 4 of Lungmen NPP FSAR (Final Safety Analysis Report), the design features of Lungmen NPP improve the core stability performance and assure that it is more stable than the current BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) NPP in the normal operating regions. In this research, the LAPUR6 stability analysis of Lungmen NPP is performed in order to versify the design features of Lungmen NPP which causes the more stable than the current BWR NPPs. The analysis results of LAPUR6 indicate that the design features of Lungmen NPP can improve the core stability performance effectively and result in the more stable than the current BWR NPPs.
