In this work, flashing-induced oscillations have been studied by using an experimental test facility (SIRIUS-N) and RELAP5/MOD3.2 thermal hydraulic code. The behavior of the test facility is investigated for different values of core inlet temperature value. The results of the simulations have been compared qualitatively and quantitatively with experiments. In general, deviations are found between the numerical and experimental results, in spite of the close similarity between the SIRIUS-N facility and the definition of the system in the RELAP code. This result indicates that predictions regarding experimental facility, based on modeled system, should be carefully considered.展开更多

For the purpose of the analysis is selected a plant operating state with unsealed primary circuit by removing the MCP head. The reference nuclear power plant is Unit 6 at Kozloduy NPP (KNPP) site. RELAP5/ MOD3.2 computer code has been used to simulate the transient for WWER-1000/V320 NPP model. A model of WWER-1000 based on Unit 6 of KNPP has been developed for the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code at the Institute for Nuclear Research and Nuclear Energy-Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (INRNE-BAS), Sofia. The plant modifications performed in frame of modernization program have been taken into account for the investigated conditions for the unsealed primary circuit. The most specific in this analysis compared to the analyses of NPP accidents at full power is the unavailability of some important safety systems. For the purpose of the present investigation two scenarios have been studied, involving a different number of safety systems with and without operator actions. The selected initiating event and scenarios are used in support of analytical validation of Emergency Operating Procedures (EOP) at low power and they are based on the suggestions of leading KNPP experts and are important in support of analytical validation of EOP at low power.展开更多
