Abstract

Following completion of the probabilistic analyses, the LOCA Definition Project has been subject to various external reviews, and as a result the need for several revisions has arisen. This report updates and summarizes the indirect failure frequency analysis for the process water piping. In this report, a conservatism of the earlier analysis is removed, supporting lower failure frequency estimates. The analysis results are also reinterpreted in light of subsequent review comments.

Reactor materials program process water piping: K Reactor indirect failure probability

Technical Report Daugherty, W

The hypothetical maximum rate loss of coolant accident (LOCA) for the Savannah River Production Reactors is the abrupt double-ended guillotine break (DEGB) of a large process water pipe. This accident is not considered credible in light of the low applied stresses and the inherent ductility of the piping material. The Reactor Materials Program was initiated to provide the technical basis for an alternate, credible design basis accident. The major thrust of this program is to develop an alternate maximum rate LOCA by deterministic means. Additionally, the probability of a DEGB is being determined; to show that in addition to beingmore »« less

Review and categorization of existing studies on the estimation of probabilistic failure metrics for Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary piping and steam generator tubes in Nuclear Power Plants

Journal Article Cheng, Wen-Chi; Sakurahara, Tatsuya; Zhang, Sai; ... - Progress in Nuclear Energy

This article presents the first output of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project (CRP), titled Methodology for Assessing Pipe Failure Rates in Advanced Water-Cooled Reactors (AWCRs), launched in 2018. This IAEA CRP is aimed at developing a good-practices document for estimating the probabilistic failure metrics of piping in AWCRs. The reliability of piping that comprise the Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary (RCPB) is important for maintaining safe and stable operations of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) because failure of those piping components could lead to undesirable consequences, such as plant shutdown, costly repair, the occurrence of Loss-of-Coolant Accidents (LOCAs)more »« less
