Kalinin 3 ICMS signals are shown with symbols (30YQR00FX001XQ01 power from SPND readings; 30YCR00FX001XQ01 ex-core detectors; 30RLR00FX903XQ03 thermal balance of steam generators secondary side; 30YAR00FX001XQ01 primary coolant loop thermal balance). Simulation data are shown with tick lines for comparison (core thermal power, NEM; SG primary-to-secondary heat flux, RELAP5-HD; power from SPND model).
