High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Safety studies for the Division of Accident Evaluation. Quarterly progress report, April 1-June 30, 1982

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6468970

Continuing work on High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) severe accident analyses included a study of a hypothetical large-scale release following a permanent loss-of-coolant accident at the Fort St. Vrain reactor and further development of the ORECA code for siting studies of the 2240-MW(t) cogeneration plant HTGR. Work on fission-product release and transport included investigations of alternative iodine chemistry scenarios and an analysis of the major areas of uncertainties in release predictions during severe accidents. Code development work showed further progress in steam generator modeling, development of a multiloop HTGR simulation, and testing of an alternative simplified core model. 5 figures.
