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.
