Abstract

The RELAP5/MOD3.2 computer program has been used to analyze a series of tests investigating void fraction distribution over height in RBMK fuel channels performed in Facility BM at the ENTEK. This is RBMK Standard Problem 7 in Joint Project 6, which is the investigation of Computer Code Validation for Transient Analysis of RBMK and VVER Reactors, between the United States and Russian Minatom International Nuclear Safety Centers. The experiment facility and data, RELAP5 nodalization, and results are shown for all tests. Agreement between RELAP5 and the experiment data is reasonable.

RELAP5 / MOD3.2 analysis of INSC standard problem INSCSP - V4 : investigation of heat transfer for partly uncovered VVER-1000 core at the test facility KS (RRC K1).

Technical Report Tentner, A; Ahrens, J

The RELAP5/MOD3.2 computer program has been used to analyze a series of tests investigating heat-transfer from a partly uncovered VVER-1000 core in the KS test facility at the Russian Research Center ''Kurchatov Institute'' (RRC-KI). The analysis documented represents VVER Standard Problem 4 in Joint Project 6, which is the investigation of Computer Code Validation for Transient Analysis of RBMK and VVER Reactors, between the United States and Russian International Nuclear Safety Centers. The experiment facility and data, RELAP5 nodalization, and results are shown for one of the six tests defined in Standard Problem 4. Only part of the data wasmore »« less

RELAP5/MOD3.2 Assessment Using INSC SP-PSBV1

Conference Bayless, P; Melikhov, O; Melikhov, V; ...

Assessments of the RELAP5/MOD3.2 computer code using loss-of-coolant experiment data from the PSB facility have been performed independently by analysts at the Electrogorsk Research and Engineering Center and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. The PSB experiment facility is a full height, 1/300 volume and power scale representation of a VVER-1000 reactor. The experiment modeled was an 11% break in the upper plenum, simulating the rupture of one of the hydroaccumulator injection lines. The two assessments were compared, investigating differences in the input models and explaining the resultant differences in the calculations. Both calculations agreed reasonably well with mostmore »« less

Analysis of the VVER Standard Problem INSC-PSBV1 '11% Coolant Leak from Upper Plenum' with RELAP5/MOD3.2

Conference Melikhov, O; Melikhov, V; Parfenov, Yu; ...

Analyses of a loss-of-coolant experiment carried out at the PSB-VVER test facility with the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code have been performed independently by analysts at the Electrogorsk Research and Engineering Center (EREC) and the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The PSB-VVER facility is a full-height scale model of a VVER 1000 reactor that is approximately 1/300 scale in volume and power. VVER Standard Problem INSC-PSBV1 represents an 11% leak from the upper plenum of the PSB-VVER facility, simulating the rupture of one of the accumulator injection lines.

RELAP5/MOD3.2 Investigation of a VVER-1000 MCP Switching on Problem

Conference Groudev, Pavlin; Pavlova, Malinka

This paper provides a discussion of various RELAP5 parameters calculated for the investigation of the nuclear power reactor parameter behavior in case of switching on one main coolant pump (MCP) when the other three MCPs are in operation. The reference power plant for this analysis is Unit 6 at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) site. Operational data from Kozloduy NPP have been used for the purpose of assessing how the RELAP5 model compares against plant data. During the plant-commissioning phase at Kozloduy NPP Unit 6 a number of experiments have been performed. One of them is switching on MCPmore »« less
