The Assessment of Fuel Channel behavior in LOCA for CANDU NPP

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

Description

Large loss of coolant accident (LOCA) is the most limiting accident in terms of the amount of damaged fuels in CANDU reactors. The accident assumes pipe break in the reactor header which is large pipe in primary coolant system. The amount of fuel failure determines the source term for dose in the environment. Fuel failure is dependent on the channel flow behavior which determines the temperature of fuel and fuel channel. Detailed study on the fuel channel can help to understand the fuel behavior in LOCA. Here detailed behavior of fuel channels in reactor inlet header (RIH) 35% break is considered
