Hydrogen-burn analyses of ice-condenser containments

Creators

Description

Predicted are the Sequoyah and McGuire ice-condenser-containment atmosphere pressure ad temperature responses during degraded-core accidents that involve the release and combustion of large quantities of hydrogen. Predictions are based on (1) an appropriately modified version of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) subcompartment analysis code COMPARE and (2) a Burning-Lean-with-Turbulence model for the estimation of burn parameters. The COMPARE code modifications are described. Also, COMPARE-calculated results are compared with utility-calculated results submitted to the NRC
