Abstract:
Analysis of a small break loss of coolant accident(SB-LOCA) for the latest design of ACR-700 PHWR nuclear power plant(NPP) developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited has been performed with CATHENA MOD 3.5d,a PHWR system thermal-hydraulic analysis code based on the analysismodel established.The limiting break size has been found by performing the sensitivity study for three different break locations [i.e.reactor inlet head(RIH),HTS pump suction(PS) pipe and reactor outlet head(ROH)] under the limiting case(i.e.SB-LOCA with subsequent loss of class Ⅵ power with all safety system available),and main analysis results were also provided.
