Suppression Effects

Studies on the suppression of the reactivity of sodium itself have been performed on the basis of the concept of suspended nanoparticles in liquid sodium (sodium nanofluid). According to the theoretical and experimental results of studies for sodium nanofluid, velocity and heat of sodium nanofluid reaction with water (sodium nanofluid/water reaction) are lower than those of the pure sodium/water reaction. The analytical model for the peak temperature of a sodium nanofluid/water reaction jet has been developed by the authors in consideration of these suppression effects. In this paper, the prediction method for mitigation effects on damage of adjacent tubes in steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) accidents is developed by applying this analytical model for the peak temperature of the reaction jet. On the assumption that the sodium nanofluid is used for the secondary coolant of sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), mitigation effects under the design basis accident (DBA) condition and the design extension condition (DEC) of SGTR are estimated by using this method. The results indicate a clear possibility to reduce the number of damaged tubes and to suppress the pressure generated in SGTR accidents by using sodium nanofluid as the secondary coolant.

Abstract The loss of coolant accident (LOCA) is one of the typical design basis accidents for nuclear power plant. Radionuclides leak to the environment and cause harm to the public in LOCA. Accurate evaluation of radioactivity and radiation dose in accident is crucial. The radioactivity and radiation dose model in LOCA were established, and used to analyze the radiological consequence at exclusion area boundary (EAB) and the outer boundary of low population zone (LPZ) for Hualong 1. The results indicated that the long half-life nuclides, such as 131I, 133I, 135I, 85Kr, 131mXe, 133mXe and 133Xe, released to environment continuously, while the short half-life nuclides, such as 132I, 134I, 83mKr, 85mKr, 87Kr, 88Kr, 135mXe and 138Xe, no longer released to environment after a few hours in LOCA. 133Xe may release the largest radioactivity to environment, more than 1015Bq. Inhalation dose was the major contribution to the total effective dose. The total effective dose and thyroid dose of Hualong 1 at EAB and the outer boundary of LPZ fully met the requirements of Chinese GB6249.

During postulated design-basis or beyond-design-basis accident at nuclear power plant with PWR or BWR, the high temperature oxidation of Zr-based fuel claddings in H2O-O2-N2 gas atmosphere could take place. Recent experimental observations showed that the oxidation of those claddings in the air (or, more generally, in oxygen-nitrogen and steam-nitrogen mixtures) behaves in much more aggressive way (linear or enhanced parabolic kinetics) compared to oxidation in pure steam (standard parabolic kinetics). This is why an advanced model of Zr-based cladding oxidation was developed. For calculations of cladding oxidation in oxygen-nitrogen and steam-nitrogen mixtures, the effective oxygen diffusion coefficient in ZrO2+ZrN layer formed in cladding is used. The diffusion coefficient enhancement factor depends on ZrN content in ZrO2+ZrN layer. A numerical scheme was realized to determine ZrO2+ZrN/α-Zr(O) and α-Zr(O)/β-Zr layers boundaries relocation and layers transformations in claddings. The model was implemented to the SOCRAT best estimate computer modeling code. The SOCRAT code with advanced model of oxidation was successfully used for calculations of separate effects tests and air ingress integral experiments QUENCH-10, QUENCH-16 and PARAMETER-SF4.
