Extreme pressure and thermal loads on 500 MWe PHWR containment following steam line break

  • 1. Nuclear Power Corp. of India, Ltd., Bombay (India)

Description

Vapor suppression type of containment calls for containment to be divided into two accident based volumes, drywell and wetwell, separated by leaktight walls and floors. Reactor building containment structure is designed to withstand extreme load conditions following postulated accidents. In this paper methodology adopted for calculation of R.B. peak pressure and temperature is discussed and results of pressure and temperature transients following a steam line break within the containment are reported
