A study of return to saturation oscillations in the OSU APEX thermal hydraulic testing facilityFranz, Scott C. 06 May 1997 (has links)
The purpose of this paper is to describe the flow oscillations which occur in the
AP600 long term cooling test facility at Oregon State University. The AP600 system is
an advanced pressurized water reactor design utilizing passive emergency cooling
systems.
A few hours after the initiation of a cold leg break, the passive cooling systems
inject gravity fed cold water at a rate allowing steam production in the reactor vessel.
Steam production in the core causes the pressure in the upper head to increase leading to
flow oscillations in all the connecting reactor systems.
This paper will show that the oscillations have a definite region of onset and
termination for specific conditions in the APEX testing facility. Tests performed at high
powers, high elevation breaks, and small break sizes do not exhibit oscillations.
The APOS (Advanced Plant Oscillation Simulator) computer code has been
developed using a quasi-steady state analysis for flows and a transient analysis for the
core node energy balance. The pressure in the reactor head is calculated using a modified
perfect gas analysis. For tank liquid inventories, a simple conservation of mass analysis is used to estimate the tank elevations. Simulation logic gleaned from APEX data and photographic evidence have been incorporated into the code to predict termination of the oscillations.
Areas which would make the work more complete include a better understanding of two-phase fluid behavior for a top offtake on a pipe, more instrumentation in the core region of the APEX testing facility, and a clearer understanding of fluid conditions in the reactor barrel.
Scaling of the oscillations onset and pressure amplitude are relatively straight forward, but termination and period are difficult to scale to the full AP600 plant. Differences in the core power profile and other geometrical differences between the testing facility and the actual plant make the scaling of this phenomenon to the actual plant conditions very difficult. / Graduation date: 1997

SBLOCA analysis for nuclear plant shutdown operationsWang, Yi 11 March 1994 (has links)
A series of small break loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) analyses in nuclear plant shutdown operations was simulated using the code RELAP5A,MOD3 version 8.0 to predict the SBLOCA phenomena in the Zion-l nuclear power plant The first objective is to study the impact of SBLOCA (1" and 2" breaks) on plant conditions while in the shutdown mode. In particular, to determine the time to "core uncovery" without operator
interaction. The other objective is to study the effect of RHR heat exchanger elevation on natural circulation mass flow rate, fluid temperature and peak fuel pin temperature.
Peak temperature and time to core uncovery were found for two small break LOCA cases. The natural circulation mass flow rate after break initiation was affected by varying the RHR heat exchanger elevation. The system pressure and temperature were not affected much by the elevation change in the RHR heat exchanger. The current version of RELAP5/MOD3 was found to be sensitive to the initial conditions in studies of low pressure,low temperature plant systems, especially for a large break LOCA. / Graduation date: 1994
