Abstract
Abstract CPR1000 severe accident management guideline (SAMG) is a product of the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) SAMG and the French SAMG (called GIAG) combination. It adopts the structure of WOG SAMG. However, it follows the approach of GIAG performing reactor coolant system (RCS) depressurization immediately after entering SAMG. This is a special feature of CPR1000 SAMG. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate this RCS depressurization strategy. The simulations of a station blackout (SBO) accident are performed for CPR1000 with RCS depressurization strategy adopted at both core exit temperature (CET) of 650 and 1100 °C together with opening different number of safety relief valves (SRV) using an integral severe accident analysis code. The optimized RCS depressurization strategy is provided to delay the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) failure time. And some comments are provided for future improvement.
