Effectiveness of passive systems tested in the NOKO facility

  • 1. Institute of Safety Research and Reactor Technology, Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, Juelich (Germany)

Description

In the NOKO facility, the components Passive Initiators, Emergency Condensers, Building and Plate Condenser have been studied experimentally. The influential parameters - pressure and concentration of non-condensables - have been varied substantially. In combination with tests of the same components in an other facility (PANDA), tests with other components in other test facilities (PANDA, PANTHERS, SPES-2) and future tests in NOKO, the available data form a good basis for the assessment of the thermal-hydraulic effectiveness of passive decay heat removal from the core region and the containment - mainly of BWRs. In a next step, the structural reliability should be evaluated for the use in Probabilistic Safety Analyses. (author)
