“…In addition to the artificial lengthening of the primary pump's coastdown time, other parameters that were varied included the operating power of the reactor and the state of the auxiliary coolant pump (on, off, or on battery backup) (Planchon et al 1988).…”

“…EBR-II's design used dimples on the outer surface of the fuel assemblies to prevent inward bowing of the fuel during a transient [6]. Doing so reduced the positive reactivity from fuel bowing enough to allow other negative feedbacks to appreciably reduce the reactor power during several planned transients in 1986 [7]. ANL conducted Loss of Flow Accident (LOFA) and Loss of Heat Sink Accident (LOHSA) tests from full power without SCRAM.…”
