Due to long-term station black out (SBO) of the RDE (Experimental Power Reactor), the residual heat from the core will be removed to a residual heat removal system (RHRS). The objective of this study is to know the transient characteristic of RDE thermal parameters in response to the loss of residual heat removing ability for long-term. To achieve this objective, an analysis model of reactor thermal parameters changes during SBO, using Matlab program to simulate heat transfer equations of conduction, convection and radiation has been performed. Using this program, the changes of RDE thermal parameters until 800 hours after reactor trip have been analyzed. It is concluded that, in long-term SBO condition, the reactor is still safe with the maximum core temperature of 1140°C, which is still far under the safety limit of 1600°C as stated in the design criteria. More attentions are needed to be taken with the increasing of concrete temperature up to 600°C when the water storage is empty. Therefore, the availability of water in the RHRS shall absolutely be maintained.Keywords: experimental power reactor, residual heat removal, transient, Matlab. INVESTIGASI PERUBAHAN PARAMETER TERMAL RDE PADA KONDISI KEHILANGAN CATU DAYA LISTRIK DALAM JANGKA PANJANG. Akibat kehilangan catu daya listrik luar pada Reaktor Daya Eksperimental (RDE), panas sisa dari reaktor dibuang ke suatu sistem pembuang panas sisa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik transien parameter termal RDE ketika terjadi kegagalan pembuangan kalor sisa tersebut dalam jangka panjang. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut telah disusun model analisis perubahan parameter termal reaktor ketika terjadi Station Black Out (SBO) menggunakan pemrograman Matlab dengan melibatkan persamaan-persamaan perpindahan kalor secara konduksi, konveksi dan radiasi. Dengan menggunakan program ini perubahan parameter termal RDE hingga 800 jam setelah reaktor trip telah dianalisis. Disimpulkan bahwa pada kondisi SBO dalam jangka panjang tersebut, reaktor masih tetap aman dengan temperatur maksimum teras sebesar 1140 °C, yaitu masih jauh di bawah batas aman 1600 °C yang telah ditetapkan dalam kriteria desain. Perlu diperhatikan adanya peningkatan temperatur beton hingga 600 °C jika air pendingin sudah habis. Oleh karena itu, ketersediaan air pendingin di sistem pembuang panas sisa mutlak harus dijaga.Kata kunci: reaktor daya eksperimental, pembuang panas sisa, transien, Matlab.

Practice has proved that nuclear power technology development and operation of nuclear power is a clean, safe and large-scale provided stable power. AP1000 uses a large number of passive safety technologies. Passive residual heat removal system is an important part, in the long-term cooling stage of nuclear reactor normal operating conditions or accident conditions, to prevent the core meltdown. The research of this paper is to solve the long-term discharge of residual heat of the containment in the accident condition of nuclear power plant. Based on the passive heat removal system of AP1000, combined with the heat transfer characteristics and advantages of heat pipes, the PRHR system is further improved on the basis of the present situation, and a conceptual design of passive containment residual heat removal system is proposed. In order to further verify the feasibility of the conceptual design, we make a simplified simulation of small containment test bench to carry out experimental verification and give a detailed experimental design.

This paper regarded CNP1000 power plant system as the research object, which is the second-generation half Nuclear Reactor System in our country, and tried to set Westinghouse AP1000 passive residual heat removal system to the primary circuit of CNP1000. Then set up a simulation model based on RELAP5/MOD3.2 program to calculate and analyze the response and operating characteristic of passive residual heat removal system on assumption that Station Blackout occurs. The calculation has the following conclusions: natural circulation was quickly established after accident, which removes core residual heat effectively and keep the core safe. The residual heat can be quickly removed, and during this process the actual temperature was lower than saturation temperature in reactor core.
