PWR shutdown decay-heat removal analyses in support of TAP A-45. [Feed and bleed]

OSTI ID:5564612
The US NRC currently considers the adequacy of shutdown decay heat removal to be an unresolved safety issue (USI A-45). The purpose of Task Action Plan (TAP) A-45 is to evaluate the adequacy of current licensing design requirements, to ensure that nuclear power plants do not pose an unacceptable risk because of failure to remove shutdown decay heat. A major part of TAP A-45 is concerned with the transition from reactor trip to hot shutdown. Also of interest is the transition from hot shutdown to cold shutdown and maintaining cold shutdown conditions. Although a limited number of alternative means for removal of shutdown decay heat from PWRs are being examined by the NRC, this paper focuses on the application of the feed and bleed concept as a diverse alternative method of removing decay heat that does not rely on the use of the steam generators.
