AbstractAbstract
[en] The TQUV [Transient-induced scram, Power Conversion System Unavailable, High Pressure (HPCI, RCIC) and Low Pressure (RHR, Core Spray) injection systems unavailable] accident sequence has been shown to be among the dominant accident sequences in almost all BWR Probabilistic Risk Assessments (PRAs). This report provides an analysis of the ability of the Control Rod Drive (CRD) hydraulic system and the Standby Liquid Control (SLC) system, utilized singly or in combination, to adequately cool the reactor core during this accident sequence. The class of shutdowns considered consists of those initiated by a transient or a loss of off-site power in which there is a successful reactor scram and there is no pipe break. Various combinations of flow delivery capability and operator action are considered and an optimum procedure is recommended. A special version of the MARCH computer code is used to calculate core temperatures and estimate fuel damage for cases involving partial or full core uncovery. The results show that fuel damage can be avoided by appropriate operator action
