Abstract
The paper shows the occurrence of pressure waves and their propagation in the equipment of the first circuit of the WWER-1000 reactor plant in emergency situations associated with an instantaneous stop of the Main circulation pump or a two-way flow with an instantaneous two-way break in the cold thread of the main circulation pipeline. The influence of the time of initialization of the accident (pump stop, pipeline rupture) on the intensity of the process-amplitude, frequency of pressure changes is investigated. Pressure drops during an emergency on the main elements of the circuit are considered. It is shown that the maximum changes in the amplitude and frequency of both the pressure and the pressure drops on the circuit elements belong to the initial stage of the accident. The main attention is focused on the pressure drops on the equipment, because this parameter determines the dynamic loads on the equipment, which can lead to its failure.
