Summary
The reactimeter data recorded on 3/28/79 at Three Mile Island (TMI-2) indicates a number of abrupt transients starting at 13:52. These transients appeared to be the results of very rapid energy releases in the reactor cooling system. A study was initiated by the US Department of Energy to determine the causes and consequences of these transients. The study shows that the transients were not caused by energy releases in the reactor cooling system. They were probably caused by malfunctions in the reactimeter power supply or by reactimeter ground loop faults. Information obtained and observations derived from the study of real energy release transients which occurred during the first day of the TMI-2 loss of coolant accident are presented.
