A numerical study on the optimum size for the orifice located on the steam generator cassette of integral reactor
일체형원자로 증기발생기 카세트 하단에 설치된 오리피스의 최적설계 연구
Abstract
A new advanced integral reactor of 330 MWt capacity named SMART(System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor) is currently under development at KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). One of the major design features of the integral reactor is locating the steam generators(SG) inside reactor vessel and eliminating the possibility of LB LOCA(large Break Loss of Coolant Accident). Orifices are fitted at the low part of steam generator cassette to stabilize and balance coolant flow distribution in the MCP (Main Circulation Pump) pressure header. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the optimum orifice size using computer code 'CFX'.
