The water ingress analysis on steam generator heat-exchange tube rupture accident of high temperature gas-cooled reactor
Steam generator (SG) heat-exchange tube rupture (SGTR) is a unique and severe accident, which will result in water ingress into the reactor. The analysis on water ingress transient of SGTR holds significant importance for verifying the inherent safety characteristics of high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The 10 MW HTGR, designed by Tsinghua University, is exampled to be analyzed in this paper. The accident scenarios of a double-ended guillotine rupture at inlet and outlet of a heat-exchange tube are simulated respectively by RELAP5/MOD3.2. The results show that both water ingress mass and the rupture flow rate are significantly related to the rupture location. The draining system rapidly discharged water from the SG, mitigating effectively the accident consequences. Due to thermal inertia, the coolant inside the average tube refluxes and surges out of the rupture, so it is essential to consider the measures for the timely evacuation of the average tube.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
