Pre-Test Calculation of PKL III G3.1 Test

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

The large-scale test facility PKL is a scaled-down model of a 4-loop pressurized water reactor (PWR) of the 1300 MWe class. The PKL test facility models the entire primary system and essential parts of the secondary system without a turbine and condenser. Though all elevations are scaled 1:1, volumes, power and mass flows are modelled by a scaling factor of 1/145. The maximum power of 2.5 MW corresponds to 10 % of the rated thermal power in commercial plants. The maximum pressure of the primary system is 45 bars. In this study, the PKL III G3.1 test was simulated by the MARS-KS code as part of a pre-test calculation where no comparative experimental data is provided except for the boundary and initial test conditions. The objective of the PKL III G3.1 test is the investigation of the fast cool-down transient by a main steam line break (MSLB)
