Reliability assessment of main loop residual heat removal options in the GCFR
Description
16 improved main loop residual heat removal options were identified and analyzed for their potential to improve heat removal train reliability. Ten shutdowns and three reactor trips per year with a plant availability data of 80% formed the basis of the analysis. The results of quantitative reliability analyses using the evaluated reliability data bank for gas-cooled reactors showed that several of the systems analyzed had the potential for substantial improvements in the main cooling system reliability. On the basis of this work, a new interim design of the main loop residual heat removal system has been adopted. 2 refs
