The article is devoted to the study of a nitrogen supply system for cooling an experimental device designed for testing in a pulsed reactor with a graphite moderator. To analyze emergency situations caused by disruption of the nitrogen supply system in the cooling paths of the fuel assembly cover and the experimental device power housing, a mathematical model has been developed to describe thermodynamic processes in a system of interconnected tanks that simulate individual sections of the experimental device hydrodynamic cooling system in a pulsed graphite reactor and implemented in the mathematical interactive package for engineering calculations in MATLAB/Simulink. To study the normal operation of the system and analyze possible emergencies, the cooling system of the experimental device was presented in the form of groups of interconnected sections of the hydrodynamic system-tanks, with specified volumes and hydraulic resistances of pipelines connecting these tanks. Verification of the model, calculations of the experimental device cooling system normal operation mode, calculations of emergency situations caused by a violation of the nitrogen supply system normal operation in the cooling paths of the fuel assembly cover were carried out, in particular, it was found that for the cooling system of the experimental device WF-2, the breakdown of the gearbox P-12 can cause depressurization of the fuel assembly cover and an increase in pressure in the power housing, the opening of the safety valve prevents exceeding the pressure limit in the housing, the device maintains integrity even in emergency situations, without being subjected to destruction of the power elements of the structure at a pressure of up to 8 MPa
