PCCS Heat Exchanger Test

PCCS is new feature; extensive testing

PCCS heat exchanger testing was done in Italy in same facility used for ICS HX testing

Because of lower power, both halves of full-size unit could be tested

Isolation Condenser Testing

ICs are used in BWR/2s & 3s

• Dresden 2/3

• Oyster Creek

• Nine Mile 1

• Tube and shell configuration

ESBWR is same in principle, but different geometry

• One full-scale half unit tested

over wide range of operating

conditions
