Flood issue for nuclear power plants designed and built in 1970 is extremely severe for main steam header compartment and main feedwater line region of intermediate building and lower floor. A calculation for flood level at the main feedwater line isolation compartment is now performing by hand calculation. But, this methodology is quite conservative assumption. The goal of this study was to develop method to analyze flowrate using the RETRAN-3D computer code, and the developed method was applied to flood level analysis following main feedwater line break. As a result of analysis, flood level was low remarkably.

KEPRI has developed an Nuclear Steam Supply System(NSSS) thermal-hydraulics simulation program (called ARTS-KORI), based on the best-estimate system code, RETRAN, as a part of the development project for the KORI unit 1 Nuclear Power Plant Simulator. A number of code modifications, such as simplifications and removing of discontinuities of the physical correlations, were made in order to change the RETRAN code as an nuclear Steam Supply System thermal-hydraulics engine in the simulator. Some simplified models and a backup system were also developed. This paper briefly presents the results of non-integrated standalone test of ARTS-KORI.

Nuclear ship reactors have several features different from land-based PWR's. Especially, effects of ship motions on reactor thermal-hydraulics and good load following capability for abrupt load changes are essential characteristics of nuclear ship reactors. This study modified the RETRAN-03 to analyze the thermal-hydraulic transients under three-dimensional ship motions, named RETRAN-03/MOV in order to apply to future marine reactors. First Japanese nuclear ship MUTSU reactor have been analyzed under various ship motions to verify this code. Calculations have been peformed under rolling, heaving and stationary inclination conditions during normal operation. Also, the natural circulation has been analyzed, which can provide the decay heat removal to ensure the passive safety of marine reactors. As results, typical thermal-hydraulic characteristics of marine reactors such as flow rate oscillations and S/G water level oscillations have been successfully simulated at various conditions.
