PRHRS隔离阀前后破口事故对非能动堆芯冷却系统的影响分析

对于AP型核电站小破口失水事故(SBLOCA)试验进程,国内外有较为一致的认识,但对于相同尺寸破口在不同破口位置对试验进程、非能动堆芯冷却系统的影响仍需进一步研究。本文利用大型非能动堆芯冷却整体试验台架ACME开展了非能动余热排出系统（PRHRS）隔离阀前后破口事故试验工况研究,并以堆芯补水箱（CMT）侧冷管底部破口事故工况作为对比工况。试验结果表明：ACME开展的PRHRS隔离阀前后破口事故模拟工况事故进程符合典型SBLOCA进程,堆芯始终处在良好的冷却状态,非能动堆芯冷却系统的安全性得到有效验证;相同破口尺寸工况下,不同破口位置对事故进程有一定的影响,其中破口位置对CMT液位、安注流量的影响较为关键。对比工况中,PRHRS设备换热量也有较大不同,冷管破口和隔离阀后破口工况较隔离阀前破口工况换热量更大,但PRHRS换热管内部流动换热机理需进一步研究。

A numerical investigation of SBLOCA scenario in nuclear heating reactor

Small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) is one of the most important severe accidents in nuclear heating reactor. Nuclear heating reactor designed by Tsinghua University, whose primary loop is integrated layout and designed without main pump. The initial water volume in the reactor vessel is important to determine whether the reactor will be cooled or not as no safety injection system is designed for coolant makeup during the whole scenario. This paper simulates SBLOCA in nuclear heating reactor based on RELAP5. Transient behavior of relevant thermal parameters is specifically analyzed. Moreover, investigation also has been made on SBLOCA scenario based on different residual heat removal correlations and found the long-term residual heat removal capacity is decisive in determining the loss of coolant. The mathematical form of residual heat removal correlation is specifically deducted and can be widely applied to different situations. The envelope line that differentiates the region whether the core is safe or not under different maximum PRHRS capacity is also given.     

Development of the analysis tool for the water cooling type passive residual heat removal system of Chinese pressurized reactor

An innovative design for Chinese pressurized reactor is the steam generator (SG) secondary side water cooling passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS). The new design is expected to improve reliability and safety of the Chinese pressurized reactor during the event of feed line break or station blackout (SBO) accident. The new system is comprised of a SG, a cooling water pool, a heat exchanger (HX), an emergency makeup tank (EMT) and corresponding valves and pipes. In order to evaluate the reliability of the water cooling PRHRS, an analysis tool was developed based on the drift flux mixture flow model. The preliminary validation of the analysis tool was made by comparing to the experimental data of ESPRIT facility. Calculation results under both high pressure condition and low pressure condition fitted the experimental data remarkably well. A hypothetical SBO accident was studied by taking the residual power table under SBO accident as the input condition of the analysis tool. The calculation results showed that the EMT could supply the water to the SG shell side successfully during SBO accident. The residual power could be taken away successfully by the two-phase natural circulation established in the water cooling PRHRS loop. Results indicate the analysis tool can be used to study the steady and transient operating characteristics of the water cooling PRHRS during some accidents of the Chinese pressurized reactor. The present work has very important realistic significance to the engineering design and assessment of the water cooling PRHRS for Chinese NPPs.

大型非能动压水堆核电厂在发生失水事故(LOCA)后的长期堆芯冷却阶段依靠重力向堆芯注入应急冷却水,其注射管线上设置的旋启式止回阀的阻力可随流量变化,管线的阻力可能将非预期地增加。根据旋启式止回阀阻力特性,为失水事故最佳估算系统分析程序添加相应的计算功能,对压力容器直接注射(DVI)管线双端断裂事故后长期堆芯冷却工况进行了计算分析。结果表明:安全注射管线上旋启式止回阀阻力变化对大型非能动压水堆核电厂LOCA后长期冷却的影响较小;在安全裕量不足的情况下,旋启式止回阀的阻力特性将影响到非能动注射管线的安全注射功能的执行。

AP1000核电厂丧失主给水ATWS事故CMT注射分析

堆芯补水箱（CMT）是AP1000核电厂非能动堆芯冷却系统（PXS）的重要组成部分。在通常情况下,当主泵开启时,CMT即使被触发,也不能注入堆芯。然而在某些事故工况下,即使主泵开启,CMT也有可能注入,它将直接影响事故进程及分析结果。应用压水堆核电厂通用系统程序RELAP5MOD3.1对AP1000核电厂丧失主给水ATWS事故进行了计算分析,验证了美国西屋公司LOFT4AP2.0.1程序计算结果的正确性,并分析找出了CMT成功注入的根本原因。

Development of Evaluation Code for Long-Term Cooling of Containment with Passive Safety Feature

Simplified BWRs are characterized as an adoption of a passive ECCS and a passive containment cooling system (PCCS). While a passive ECCS has a short term core cooling function, a PCCS has a long-term decay heat removal function. As a PCCS, several concepts, differing in cooling location and method employed, have been considered. From the containment thermal- hydraulic response analysis viewpoint, simplified BWRs are essentially different from the current BWRs. For evaluating and comparing the performance of several PCCSs over full break spectra, the new containment safety evaluation code TOSPAC was developed as a preliminary design tool for PCCS. This paper summarizes the thermal-hydraulic modelings of the TOSPAC code and the validity evaluation of the TOSPAC code, compared with TRAC-BF1 calculation.

From the validity evaluation concerning a main steam line break (MSLB) accident analysis for an isolation condenser (I/C) as a PCCS, it was found that the TOSPAC calculation result shows reasonable agreement with that for TRAC, even though the TOSPAC consists of simpler modelings.     

Analyses of PACTEL passive safety injection experiments with APROS, CATHARE and RELAP5 codes

The European Commission fourth framework programme project ‘Assessment of passive safety injection systems of advanced light water reactors’ involved experiments on the PACTEL test facility and computer simulations of selected experiments. The experiments focused on the performance of passive safety injection systems (PSIS) of advanced light water reactors (ALWRs) in small break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA) conditions. The PSIS consisted of a core make-up tank (CMT) and two pipelines. A pressure balancing line (PBL) connected the CMT to one cold leg. The injection line (IL) connected it to the downcomer. The project involved 15 experiments in three series. The experiments provided information about condensation and heat transfer processes in the CMT, thermal stratification of water in the CMT, and natural circulation flow through the PSIS lines. The project included validation of three thermal-hydraulic computer codes (APROS, CATHARE and RELAP5). The analyses showed the codes are capable of simulating the overall behaviour of the transients. The codes predicted accurately the core heatup, which occurred when the primary coolant inventory was reduced so much that the core top became free of water. The detailed analyses of the calculation results showed that some models in the codes still need improvements. Especially, further development of models for thermal stratification, condensation and natural circulation flow with small driving forces would be necessary for accurate simulation of the phenomena in the PSIS.
