In Austria a research program to investigate the source term behavior of VVER-type reactors is still going on. The first two generations of VVER-type reactors were designed for 440-MW(electric) power. The next generation with 1000-MW(electric) power is known as the VVER-1000. These reactors have four loops without isolation valves, horizontal steam generators, and hexagonal fuel assemblies. In addition to the first two generations, this type has a containment structure with spray-type steam suppression. The three spray systems work autonomously with a special power supply for each system. The purpose of the containment spray system is to control the pressure within the containment by cooling and condensing steam from the atmosphere and to remove airborne aerosols. To investigate the source term behavior of VVER-type reactors, Austria acquired the Source Term Code Package (STCP) and started the program investigating a TMLB and an S[sub 1]B accident sequence. In the next step, a calculation of the TMLB sequence with working spray systems and emergency core coolant (ECC) recirculation was performed. This paper describes the results of the calculation, the comparison with the calculation without spray, and the implications for the accident management of VVER-1000-type reactors.
