Abstract
HPR1000 NPP is designed with Passive Containment Heat Removal System (PCS) following the technical route called active and passive combined concept. The installed PCS system will have effect on the thermal hydraulic (T-H) behavior in the containment, and the complex T-H environment will influence the heat removal and operating character of PCS system backwards. The main goal of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the PCS system of HPR1000 and analyse the complex T-H environment of HPR1000 when the PCS system is operating. The HPR1000 containment is modelled by the containment T-H code and the PCS system is modelled based on experiment results. Then, the severe accident sequence initiated by large break LOCA is calculated by an integrated computer code, which outputs mass and energy release sources from reactor coolant primary system as boundaries for the containment T-H code. The results show that HPR1000 PCS system has enough heat removal capability under selected severe accident, which could ensure the containment meet the design requirement. Also, the nonuniformity of temperature and gases in the containment will disappear when the mass and energy releases turn stable, and the operating of PCS system does not cause a huge effect on containment inhomogeneity.
