Abstract
TR-2 is a swimming pool type research reactor with 5 MW thermal power and uses standart MTR plate type fuel elements.Each standart fuel element consist of 23 fuel plates with a meat+cadding thickness of 0.127 cm.., coolant channel clearence is 0.21 cm..Originally TR-2 is designed for %93 enriched U-Al. Alloy fuel meat.This work is based on the preperation of the Final Safety Analyses Report (FSAR) of the TR-2 reactor. The main aspect is to investigate the behaviour of TR-2 reactor under the accident and abnormal operating conditions, which cowers the accident spectrum unique for the TR-2 reactor. This presentation covers some selected transient analyses which are important for the safety aspects of the TR-2 reactor like reactivity induced startup accidents, pump coastdown (Foss of Flow Accident, FOFA) and other accidents which are charecteristic to the TR-2.
