Abstract This study established an RCS-Containment coupled model that integrates the reactor coolant system (RCS) and the containment system by using the TRACE code. The coupled model was used in both short-term and long-term loss of coolant accident (LOCA) analyses. Besides, the RELAP5/CONTAN model that only contains the containment system was also developed for comparison. For short-term analysis, three kinds of LOCA scenarios were investigated: the recirculation line break (RCLB), the main steam line break (MSLB), and the feedwater line break (FWLB). For long-term analysis, the dry-well and suppression pool temperature responses of the RCLB were studied. The analysis results of RELAP5/CONTAN and TRACE models are benchmarked with those of FSAR and RELAP5/GOTHIC models, and it appears that the results of the above four models are consistent in general trends.

The importance of dynamic strength characteristics of LNG cargo containment system, various research efforts including dry-drop and wet-drop tests as well as sloshing test have been carried out by GTT, shipyards, oil companies, universities as well as classification societies. However, no explicit consideration with regard to the structural performance of insulation system toward the cryogenic environment is yet given. Besides only limited information regarding experimental procedure and analysis results is shared among stakeholders, and it acts as obstacles for the development of consistent CCS (Cargo Containment System) design criteria in an effective manner. Demand for LNG carriers with increased capacity requires further development of the design technology for LNG cargo tanks to meet the safety requirements due to the larger size LNG tanks. In this study, a systematic experimental research is required for the assessment of fatigue strength at cryogenic environment as well as impact strength of insulation system. The different sized mastic support has been adopted to compare the cryogenic fatigue performance. One of the main challenges in this work is to generalize the test results for use in case of other mastic support sizes. The aim of the study is to investigate the typical failure mode and obtain the S-N data under cryogenic fatigue loading. This study will be used as a fundamental study for the cryogenic fatigue assessment for the LNGC insulation system as well as a design guideline. The fatigue tests of Mark-III insulation system are carried out at room temperature and cryogenic temperature, and considered sloshing effect (R = −10). The load levels have been determined based on ultimate strength of reinforced polyurethane foam 12.2bar.

AbstractThe Pyrometallurgy Division at Mintek is known internationally for the development of applications of direct current (DC) arc furnace technology in smelting applications, more specifically in the smelting of primary resources, i.e., chromite, ilmenite, titanomagnetite, nickel laterite and ores containing precious group metals, and secondary resources, i.e., furnace slag or dust. From a furnace containment perspective, either an insulating or a conductive design philosophy can be applied, irrespective of the raw material being processed. In the initial stages of a project, desktop studies are typically conducted which include the selection of a furnace containment design philosophy, specific to the application. To lower the risk associated with incorrect selection of a design philosophy and/or furnace containment system components, it is prudent to conduct tests on laboratory and pilot scale and to transfer the knowledge gained to industrial applications. The paper presents examples of the laboratory and pilot techniques utilized.
