A study on the two-phase natural circulation flow under ERVC

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

Description

To observe and evaluate the two-phase natural circulation phenomena through the gap between the reactor vessel and the insulation in the APR1400 under the external vessel cooling, the T-HERMES (Thermo-Hydraulic Evaluations of Reactor vessel cooling Mechanisms by External Self-induced flow) program has been performed in KAERI. The HERMES-HALF study, which is one of the T-HERMES programs, is a non-heating experimental study on the two-phase natural circulation through the annular gap between the reactor vessel and the insulation. In this paper, the HERMES-HALF experimental results were presented and compared with ones of the numerical analyses using a RELAP5/ MOD3 code
