Safety evaluation on RCS flow asymmetry for WH type NPPs

  • 1. KEPRI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

A safety evaluation was performed for RCS flow asymmetry for Kori units 1/2/3/4 and Yonggwang units 1/2. The amount of RCS flow asymmetry is based on the design uncertainties and the margin of steam generator tube plugging limit. RCP locked rotor event, steam line break event and feedline break event were reanalyzed and the other design basis events in the current FSAR were evaluated. As a result, RCS flow asymmetry affects RCP locked rotor event considerably. The increase of peak RCS pressure during the RCP locked rotor event is about 30 psi and 20 psi for 2-LOOP plants and 3-LOOP plants, respectively. However, all the safety analysis criteria can be met for RCS flow asymmetry phenomena
