AP600 containment cooling plume investigation
Creators
- 1. Westinghouse ESBU, Pittsburgh, PA (United States)
Description
The purpose of this investigation is to assess meteorological conditions which could be postulated to degrade the performance of the AP600 passive containment cooling design, by causing recirculation of part of the effluent plume back into the shield building air inlets. The effects which need to be considered are temperature inversions and strong winds. Existing studies which can be used to quantify the potential for recirculation for the AP600 design have been identified, and an assessment of applicability to AP600 is provided. 19 refs., 1 fig
