Unique LOCA Features in <strong>ACR</strong><br />

• Power in reactor core region drops upon LOCA due to<br />

negative void reactivity<br />

• Rapid rise in thermal neutron flux in the reflector region<br />

due to migration and subsequent thermalization of fast<br />

neutrons from the core region<br />

• Fast neutronic trip is available from neutron detectors in<br />

the reflector region<br />
