The purpose of the present experiment was to obtain the natural circulation data in HX to research the heat transfer behavior. The PRHR HX was simulated by three C-type tubes with prototype sizes immerged in a cooling tank. Separate-effect tests of natural circulation in HX tubes have been performed within wide conditions which could cover the operation conditions in AP1000. The experiment provided lots of important data to indicate heat transfer phenomena of PRHR HX. The test conditions were calculated by RELAP5/MOD3.3. The calculation results agreed well with the experiment. RELAP5 could be applied with proper correlations to analyze the heat transfer in PRHR HX under the test conditions.展开更多

To enhance its safety, the various design concepts were adopted such as the most containing of the RCS (reactor coolant system) components and a PRHRS (passive residual heat removal system). To ensure the safety and performance of the SMART, a thermal hydraulic evaluation and safety analysis are performed by the TASS/SMR-S code. It uses a one dimensional node/path modeling and point kinetics for the core power simulation. The code also has specific models reflecting the design features of the SMART such as a helical tube and PRHRS heat transfer models. In this study, the validation of the core heat transfer model in the TASS/SMR-S code on the steady conditions was performed with the Bennett's heated tube tests and THTF (thermal hydraulic test facility) experiment. From the results of the TASS/SMR-S code calculation, the CHF (critical heat flux) point and the fuel rod surface temperature were predicted conservatively compared to the test results.展开更多

This concerns the Westinghouse standard three-loops plant for which the RHR is the low pressure part of the St (safety injection). In some cases one or both RHR trains may become inoperable for SI function. As a response to this letter, Westinghouse Electric Belgium is providing RELAP5 analyzes for Westinghouse NSSS (nuclear steam supply system) European plants to assess the thermal hydraulic behavior of the RHR suction piping system for ECCS (emergency core cooling system) initiation events postulated to occur during startup/shutdown operations. Several concerns including condensation induced water hammer and voiding at the RHR pump have been investigated. As a conclusion, the analysis allowed to define the bounding hot leg temperature conditions under which both RHR trains remain safely operable. These bounding conditions are then implemented by the customer in their OPs (operating procedures) to achieve safe operations and successful accident management.展开更多
