Development of the FHR advanced natural circulation analysis code and application to FHR safety analysis

Journal Article Guo, Z. ; Zweibaum, N. ; Shao, M. ; ... - Progress in Nuclear Energy

The University of California, Berkeley (UCB) is performing thermal hydraulics safety analysis to develop the technical basis for design and licensing of fluoride-salt-cooled, high-temperature reactors (FHRs). FHR designs investigated by UCB use natural circulation for emergency, passive decay heat removal when normal decay heat removal systems fail. The FHR advanced natural circulation analysis (FANCY) code has been developed for assessment of passive decay heat removal capability and safety analysis of these innovative system designs. The FANCY code uses a one-dimensional, semi-implicit scheme to solve for pressure-linked mass, momentum and energy conservation equations. Graph theory is used to automatically generate amore »« less

Investigation of scale-up capability of RELAP5/MOD3 and scaling distortion in the IIST facility via natural circulation experiments

Journal Article Ferng, Y M ; Pei, B S ; Ding, T J - Nuclear Technology

During the past years, a number of reduced-scale test facilities have been constructed to investigate the physical phenomena of transients or accidents occurring in nuclear power plants. Since the behavior of a nuclear power plant is complicated, it is quite impossible for a small-scaled facility to simulate all the physical phenomena during the transient process. But, by way of proper scaling, most of the important aspects of transient behavior can be simulated. Calculations using RELAP5/MOD3 investigate whether most of the key thermal-hydraulic phenomena observed in the Institute of Nuclear Energy Research Integral System Test (IIST) facility can be expected inmore »« less

Scaling and design of a transparent two-phase natural-circulation loop

Conference Eichenberg, T W ; Reyes, Jr, J N - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society; (USA)

This paper present the scaling analysis performed for the design of a one-quarter length scale, transparent model of a typical Westinghouse pressurized water reactor steam supply system. The scale model will be constructed of glass and will consist of an inverted U-tube steam generator, a pressurizer tank, a reactor vessel, an electrically heated core bundle, and appropriate hot leg, cold leg, and crossover piping. The experimental investigations to be performed in this facility include measurements of two-phase natural circulation heat transfer and two-phase natural circulation loop flow stagnation. Applications to advanced, passively safe, reactor designs will also be examined. Thesemore »« less
Pulsational characteristics of the natural-circulation loop of a large-scale model of a light-boiling boiling-water reactor

Journal Article Babykin, A S ; Balunov, B F ; Chernykh, N G ; ... - Sov. At. Energy (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The results of an experimental study of a natural-circulation (NC) loop, whose geometrical and hydraulic characteristics are presented are described. The range of state parameters encompassed in the experiments is also indicated. The authors used a large-scale model of a low-boiling-water reactor, with natural heights and reduced stages of separate elements of the NC loop. The study confirmed that under the conditions the pulsations in the flow rate of the coolant occurs only in the transitional zone from natural circulation of the singlephase medium to natural circulation of the two-phase coolant.
