Steady characteristic investigation on passive residual heat removal system of Chinese advanced PWR

Thermal-hydraulic characteristic investigation on passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) of Chinese advanced PWR was conducted to provide input data for PRHRS design and to demonstrate the feasibility of unique design features. A total of 237 sets of test data at steady state have been obtained and the main influence factors on the two-phase natural circulation flow rate and residual heat removal capability were identified. On the basis of theory analysis, a correlation of two-phase natural circulation was obtained, and relative errors of 95% test data were less than ±16%. There is a considerable effect of the system status parameters on the threshold of height between heat source and heat sink, and its correlation of two-phase natural circulation system has been obtained. The steady characteristic research shows that PRHRS has the capability of removing the core decay power through natural circulation.

The development and verification of thermal-hydraulic code on passive residual heat removal system of Chinese advanced PWR

The technology of passive safety is the current trend among safety systems in nuclear power plant. Pas- sive residual heat removal system (PRHRS), a major part of passive safety systems of Chinese advanced PWR, is a novel design with three-fold natural circulation. On the basis of reasonable physics and mathematics models, MI- TAP-PRHRS code was developed to analyze steady and transient characteristics of the PRHRS. The calculation and analysis show that the code simulates steady characteristics of the PRHRS very well, and it is able to simulate tran- sient characteristics of all startup modes of the PRHRS. However, the quantitative description is poor during the ini- tial stages of the transition process when water hammer occurs.

中国先进压水堆非能动余热排出系统稳态特性研究
