Characteristics of residual two-phase pool in upper plenum during refill-reflood phase of BWR LOCA

Description

This paper deals with CCFL and CCFL breakdown phenomena associated with the injection of spray water into upper plenum during refill-reflood phase of BWR LOCA. It is found that when spray flow is slightly larger than the CCFL drainage determined by the core steam flow, pool maintains at some constant level near the spray elevation, after CCFL breakdown. On the other hand, when spray flow is appreciably larger than CCFL drainage, pool level slowly oscillates. TRAC-BD1 analysis of test results show the validity of sector simulation of test apparatus
