Research on LOCA Dynamic Analysis Model of Reactor System

The reactor system has a large scale of components. And the system dynamic analysis model for loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) contains many non-linear factors. The transient calculation analysis takes a long time and the convergence is difficult to guarantee. In this paper, two different analysis models (complete three-loop model and single-loop model) of the reactor loop system are established for comparative analysis. The analysis shows that the calculation error of the main position load in the two different model is within 10%. The decoupling influence of the surge tube and the reactor inlet and outlet on the system dynamic characteristics is within an acceptable range. When the single-loop model is used, it is necessary to decouple the reactor pressure vessel and pressurizer. And the simplified boundary is adapted to simulate its effect on the whole loop. The single-loop dynamic analysis model based on the decoupling criterion can greatly reduce the calculation scale and meet the calculation accuracy, which can be used to calculate the LOCA dynamic characteristics of the reactor system quickly. The model can also be used for seismic analysis of reactor system. And using this model for reactor system dynamic analysis can greatly improve the calculation efficiency.
