Triga mark-II,III reactor safety re-evaluation

Abstract

In order to revise safety analysis report of old TRIGA reactors, safety re-evaluation of these reactor was started for necessary parts. This report contains the first year results of the project scheduled for two years. The guide lines of safety re-evaluation was made by translating that of nuclear power plant from the view point of TRIGA reactor confirming the basic safety philosophy as much as possible. First of all, sections of reactor history and comparison with similar reactors are made, since the actual operation records, changes, any modification of similar reactors constructed after then, etc., are realistic and valuable data from the safety aspect of old reactor. For the effectiveness of nuclear analysis, a PC based analysis system using WIMS-D/4 and VENTURE was established, and a program for the natural convection cooling analysis of TRIGA reactor was developed. As a result of thermal-hydraulic analysis it was confirmed that the operation limit of fuel temperature set at 650 deg C without any logical reason is very close to the DNB limit. (Author).
