Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of containment aerosol removal under severe accident
This study focuses on the uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of containment aerosol removal under severe accident conditions using the severe accident integral code ASTEC, validated by experiments carried by CNPRI, and the coupled uncertainty and sensitivity tool SUNSET. A "separated" methodology is introduced, which distinguishes between thermal-hydraulic and aerosol boundary conditions to highlight the impact of containment aerosol mechanisms. Eleven uncertainty input parameters related are selected for uncertainty propagation and the Spearman correlation coefficient is utilized to describe sensitivity. The removal factor exhibits significant variation, with peaks due to temporary enhancement of diffusiophoresis deposition caused by corium relocation and subsequent steam generation. Uncertainty in the removal factor is substantial before aerosol release termination and narrows afterward. The gravitational settling and the diffusiophoresis deposition are the most important contributors with approximately 70 % and 20 % deposited aerosol mass, respectively. The initial mass medium diameter, the gravitational shape factor and the agglomeration shape factor are the most influential input parameters in aerosol removal, including in-containment deposition and environmental release, and they should be considered discreetly with conservatism in source term estimation and radioactive consequence evaluation in nuclear engineering.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Nuclear Energy is an international review journal covering all aspects of nuclear science and engineering. In keeping with the maturity of nuclear power, articles on safety, siting and environmental problems are encouraged, as are those associated with economics and fuel management. However, basic physics and engineering will remain an important aspect of the editorial policy. Articles published are either of a review nature or present new material in more depth. They are aimed at researchers and technically-oriented managers working in the nuclear energy field.
Please note the following:
1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.
2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.
3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.
