Investigation of thermo-mechanical behaviour of 220MWe IPHWR channel under accdiental scenario (LOCA)
This study focuses on Indian Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (IPHWR) channel under Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) and Emergency Core Cooling System failure. The study utilizes numerical analysis based on experimental data to investigate temperature distribution, structural deformation, and heat transfer between the pressure tube (PT) and calandria tube (CT). As observed in past studies, the excessive heat from the fuel bundle released after the aforementioned accident causes sagging, further leading to PT-CT contact, which acts as a crucial heat sink, essentially acting as a passive countermeasure against meltdown. The results match with the experimental data and key findings indicates significant temperature variations in both PT and CT during PT-CT contact, which also mitigates significant amounts of heat. Further as the temperature increases the risk of PT melting persists at high amounts of heat.
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.
