Analysis of equipment survivability in hydrogen burns. [PWR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5870277
The Hydrogen Burn Survival Program was initiated at Sandia National Laboratories to investigate the survivability of safety-related equipment subjected to hydrogen burns in the course of a severe nuclear-reactor accident. The effort includes both experimental and analytical activities designed to develop an understanding of the hydrogen-burn environment, heat-transfer phenomena active in that environment, and analytical techniques for estimating component temperature responses. This paper presents the results to date and discusses specific calculations applicable to ice-condenser PWRs.
