description Once-through steam generator (OTSG) is a vital heat transfer equipment of China Fast Reactor-600 (CFR-600), and its startup characteristics are of great importance to the safe operation of nuclear power plant. In this paper, first of all, the Thermal-hydraulic analysis Code Of Sodium heated once-through Steam generator (TCOSS) has been further optimized, and the code was introduced in the text. Secondly, the Steam Generator Test Facility (SGTF) and India Commercial Fast Breeder Reactor (CFBR) were selected for steady-state verification, and the feedwater flow rate increase condition of the prototype OTSG experiment was selected for transient verification. All the verifications were in good compliance, which proved the reliability of the TCOSS code for subsequent calculation of startup conditions. Finally, taking the prototype OTSG of CFR-600 as the research object, and the transient characteristics of cold startup and hot startup have been predicted and analyzed. The results show that both processes of cold startup and hot startup for prototype OTSG can be realized stably. The simulation results of startup processes showed a good agreement with expectations, which can provide support for the development of CFR-600 steam generator.
