본 연구에서는 국내에서 가장 취약할 것으로 예상되는 원자력 발전소에 가압열충격 사고를 유발할 수 있는 주증기관 파단사고를 가정하여 열수력 해석과 파괴역학 해석을 수행하였다. 원전수명관리연구의 일환으로 계통열수력 해석 및 혼합열유동 해석에 의하여 구한 냉각제의 온도와 압력의 이력 및 용기의 재질성분으로부터 용기의 응력확대계수와 파괴인성치를 계산하고 이들을 비교하여 균열의 진전여부를 판단하여 형상계수가 1/6인 표면균열이 견딜 수 있는 최대 기준무연성천이온도를 결정하였다.

The subchannel analysis was performed to verify the behavior of hot channel characteristics and obtain the information to support the core thermal-hydraulic behavior at post-trip steam line break with low flow condition. During this postulated accident, buoyancy-induced cross flow occurs, and the coupled nuclear and thermal-hydraulic interactions become important. The code predictions with TORC are in good agreement with the test data. Under such conditions, the mass flow increase in the hot channel by buoyancy-induced cross flow depends on the parameter $GR^{*}\;/\;Re^2$, and buoyancy effect becomes more noticeable as $GR^{*}\;/\;Re^2$ increases.

The Korean Next Generation Reactor(KNGR) is a Pressurized Water Reactor adopting direct vessel injection(DVI) to optimize the performance of emergency core cooling system(ECCS). In a certain accident, however, pressurized thermal shock(PTS) of the vessel due to the sudden contact with the injected cold water is expected. In this paper, an accident of Main Steam Line Break(MSLB) has been numerically investigated with direct vessel injections and an increased volume flow rate in some cold legs. Using FLUENT code, temperature distributions of the fluid in the downcomer and of reactor vessel including the core region have been calculated, together with the distribution of convective heat transfer coefficient(CHTC) at the cladding surface of the reactor vessel. The result shows that some parts of the core region of the reactor vessel have higher temperature gradient expressing higher thermal stress.

An analysis for Steam Line Break (SLB) events which result in a return-to-power conditions after reactor trip was performed for a postulated Yonggwang Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 cycle 8. Analysis methodology for post-trip return-to-power SLB is quite different from that of a no return-to-power SLB and is more complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an methodology to analyze the response of the NSSS parameter and the fuel performance for the post-trip return-to-power SLB events. In this analysis, the cases with and without offsite power were simulated by crediting 3-D reactivity feedback effect due to local heatup around stuck CEA and compared with the cases without 3-D reactivity feedback with respect to fuel performance, departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) and linear heat generation rate (LHGR).

The present paper deals with the participation of the University of Pisa in the last International Standard Problem (ISP) focused on system thermal hydraulic, which was led by the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institution (KAERI). The selected test was a Direct Vessel Injection (DVI) line break carried out at the ATLAS facility. University of Pisa participated, together with other eighteen institutions, in both blind and open phase of the analytical exercise pursuing its methodology for developing and qualifying a nodalization. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the code results have been performed for both ISP-50 phases, the latter adopting the Fast Fourier Transfer Based Method (FFTBM). The experiment has been characterized by three-dimensional behavior in downcomer and core region. Even though an attempt to reproduce these phenomena, by developing a fictitious three-dimensional nodalization has been realized, the obtained results were generally acceptable but not fully satisfactory in replicating 3D behavior.
