Evaluation of combustible gas concentration in a multi-compartment containment after a LOCA
- Yankee Atomic Electric Co., Bolton, MA (United States)
The General Electric Company`s Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (SBWR) is an advanced reactor and containment design relying on passive safety features. The containment is a pressure suppression type containment with heat removed from the containment by a Passive Containment Cooling System. This paper reports on an analysis using the GOTHIC code to investigate the distribution of non-condensable gases within the containment system. The goal of the analysis was to determine areas in the containment that may collect combustible mixtures following an accident. The SBWR`s Flammability Control System, using Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners, is not modeled in this analysis. The analysis is useful for demonstrating basic design requirements of the Flammability Control System.
