Loss-of-coolant accident evaluations for advanced pressurized-water breeder-reactor designs (AWBA development program)
Description
Loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) evaluations for advanced pressurized water breeder reactors have shown that response during a LOCA differs from that of conventional pressurized water reactors due to the size of the primary plant and type of core geometry. This report describes the loss-of-coolant accident analysis for three different types of advanced breeder reactor concepts. The results of these evaluations, while different from those of conventional pressurized water reactors, show acceptable performance with regard to the licensing requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 50. These results indicate that the advanced pressurized light water breeder reactor can successfully withstand a major loss-of-coolant accident
