A severe accident management strategy, in-vessel retention corium through external reactor vessel cooling(ERVC) is being studied worldwide as a means to prevent reactor vessel failure following a core melt accident. An evaluation of feasibility of this ERVC for a large Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) is presented. To account for the coolability of corium and metal in the reactor vessel, a thermal analysis is performed using an existing method. Results show that the peak heat flux along the inner surface of the reactor vessel lower head has a relatively smaller margin than a small capacity reactor such as AP600 in regards with the critical heat flux attainable at the outer surface of the reactor vessel lower head.

한수원 중앙연구원은 2007년부터 정부과제의 하나로 전기출력이 1500MWe급인 GEN III+ 원전 APR+를 개발해 왔다. APR1400 보다 안전성이 진전된 노형을 개발하기 위해 국내외에서 건설되거나 설계중인 ALWR의 개선된 설계특성을 조사하였다. 국내외의 원전건설 사업에 적합한 APR+ 표준설계를 개발하기 위해 신개념설계특성과 후쿠시마 원전사고 경험을 설계에 반영하였다. APR+의 안전성향상 표준설계 단계(2013.1 ~ 2015.12)에서 한 번의 경제성평가를 수행하였다. 설계 안전성향상 기술개발 단계에의 경제성 평가 결과 APR+ N-th호기는 국내석 탄화력 1000MWe급 대비 39.2% 경쟁력 우위인 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 APR+원전은 해외 원전 선진국 ALWR에 비해 동등 이상 수준의 경쟁력을 확보하는 것으로 평가되었다.

The interaction and mixing of high-temperature melt and water is the important technical issue in the safety assessment of water-cooled reactors to achieve ultimate core coolability. For specific advanced light water reactor (ALWR) designs, deliberate mixing of the core-melt and water is being considered as a mitigative measure, to assure ex-vessel core coolability. The paper provides the background of past experiments as well as key fundamentals that are needed for melt-water interfacial transport phenomena, thus enabling the development of innovative safety technologies for advanced LWRs that will assure ex-vessel core coolability.

한수원 중앙연구원은 2007년부터 정부과제의 하나로 전기출력이 1500MWe급인 GEN.III+ 원전 APR+를 개발하고 있다. APR1400에 비해 보다 개선된 안전성과 경제성을 갖는 원전을 개발하기 위해 국내 건설 중인 원전과 해외에서 개발 또는 건설 중인 ALWR(Advanced Light Water Reactor)의 설계내용 및 후쿠시마 원전사고로부터 도출된 개선사항을 반영하여 한국 실정에도 맞고, 해외 수출형 원전에도 부합되는 원전을 설계하고 있다. APR+의 경쟁력을 확인하기 위해 APR+ 표준설계개발 단계에서 3회의 경제성 평가를 수행하였다. 표준설계개발 단계에의 3차(최종) 경제성 평가 결과 APR+ N-th호기는 국내석탄화력 1000MWe급 대비 약 23% 경쟁력 우위인 것으로 평가되었다.

Advanced Pressurized Reactor 1400(APR-1400), which is a standard evolutionary advanced light water reactor(ALWR), has been developed from 1992 as one of long-term Government Project(G-7). The APR-1400 is designed to operate at the rated output of 4000MWt to produce an electric power output of around 1450MWe. The balance of plant (BOP) for the secondary system consists of main steam, feedwater, condensate, turbine generator and auxiliary system. In this paper, we describe the major design features of secondary component, balance of plant configuration, and then the turbine cycle thermal performance evaluation using PEPSE code.

A subchannel analysis code MATRA applicable to PWRs and ALWRs has been developed to be run on an IBM PC or HP WS based on the existing CDC CYBER mainframe version of COBRA-Rf-1. This MATRA code is a thermal-hydraulic analysis code based on the subchannel approach for calculating the enthalpy and How distribution in fuel assemblies and reactor cores for both steady-state and transient conditions. HATRA has been provided with an improved structure, various functions, and models to give more convenient user environment and to enhance the code accuracy. Among them, the pressure drop model has been improved to be applied to non-square-lattice rod arrays, and the models for the lateral transport between adjacent subchannels have been improved to enhance the accuracy in predicting two-phase flow phenomena. The predictions of MATRA were compared with the experimental data on the flow and enthalpy distribution in some sample rod-bundle cases to evaluate the performance of MATRA. All the results revealed that the predictions of MATRA were better than those of COBRA-IV-I.
