A large break pipe accident of the AP600 reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure boundary

  • 1. Center for Development of Nuclear Safety Technology, National Nuclear Energy Agency, Serpong (Indonesia)

Description

The large break pipe accident for AP600 has been analyzed. The analysis was done to evaluate the performance of protection system (Reactor Trip followed by Pump Trip) and mitigation system (CMT, ACC and IRWST) of the AP600 in order to limit the maximum fuel element cladding temperature so it does not exceed the acceptance criteria. Based on the accident sequences determined, the simulation was done by using PCTRAN Code. The analysis shows that the peak cladding temperature (PCT) which be reached is 698,8oC in case of cold leg break.This PCT is of course below the regulatory limit of 2200 of (1204oC) in the 10 CFR 50.46
