Review of the Grand Gulf Hydrogen Igniter System
Description
The Mississippi Power and Light Company has proposed installation of a Hydrogen Igniter System (HIS) at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (BWR Mark III) to burn hydrogen generated during accidents more severe than the design-basis accidents. Sandia National laboratories, under a contract with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has performed a technical evaluation of the adequacy of the proposed HIS to meet the threat posed by hydrogen combustion. Areas considered in this review include: HIS design and testing; location and distribution of igniters; containment pressure and temperature response calculations; detonations; containment atmosphere mixing mechanisms; actuation criteria for the HIS; and the spectrum of hydrogen-generating accidents
