OSTI ID:7290195
During FY 76 a study was undertaken to analyze the response of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor (CRBR) primary containment system to three specific Core Disruptive Accidents (CDAs). These CDAs are represented by core energetics of 300, 661, and 1200 MJ when expanded to one atmosphere (1.01 x 10 to the 5th power Pa). In particular the response of the reactor vessel closure headshear ring structural system to the CDA loadings was analyzed. Details of the hydrodynamic and structural analyses are presented in an appendix. Preliminary results of an analysis of the structural response of the CRBR outlet piping elbow to CDA loadings are given. Other work performed as a part of a general consulting service to NRC is summarized in the text.
