ANALYSIS OF LARGE LEAK SODIUM-WATER REACTION IN LARGE FBR
1991
A COMPUTER CODE,SWACS,WAS DEVELOPED TO ANALYZE A LARGE LEAK SODIUM-WATER REACTION EVENT IN AN LMFBR STEAM GENERATOR. THE JAPANESE PROTOTYPE REACTOR,MONJU,HAS A COVER GAS SPACE IN ITS STEAM GENERATOR BUT DIFFERENT DESIGNS ARE ALSOCONSIDERED FOR A FUTURE LARGER PLANT. THEREFORE,SWACS WAS MODIFIED TO ANALYZE THESODIUM-WATER REACTION EVENT UNDER SUCH VARIOUS DESIGNS. SO FAR THE CALCULATIONALMODULE OF AN INITIAL SPIKE PRESSURE AND ITS PROPAGATION TO IHTS WAS IMPROVED AND THERESULTS WERE COMPARED WITH THE DATA FROM LLTR AT ETEC, U.S.A. AND WATER-EXPLOSIVE SIMULATION TESTS AT PNC,JAPAN. THE COMPARISON REVEALED A FAIRLY GOODAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TESTS AND THE ANALYSES. FOLLOWING THE VALIDATION STUDY,SWACS WAS USED FOR THE APPLICATION ANALYSIS TO COMPARE THE PRESSURE BEHAVIORBETWEEN THE COVER-GAS TYPE AND THE NO-COVER-GAS TYPE STEAM GENERATOR OF A FUTURELARGER PLANT. THE ANALYSIS CLARIFIED THE APPLICABILITY OF SWACS TO SUCH A DESIGN STUDYFROM A VIEWPOINT OF SUPPRESSING THE SWR PRESSURE.
