Abstract

This paper presents a discussion on the model experiments results for reactor structure dynamic response on FBR hypothetical core disruptive accident (HCDA) and the results of analysis using the dynamic response analysis code under experimental conditions. The purpose of this study is to clarify experimentally the dynamic response by use of scale models, as well as to attempt to confirm and improve the dynamic response analysis code on the basis of experimental data. The experimental results have clarified the inner barrel effects on reactor vessel deformation and its behavior due to a impact load. On the other hand, dynamic analysis was made of the 1/7.5 scale complex model by a dynamic response analysis code “PISCES-2DL”, using the explosive combustion characteristics as inputs. Obtained values were compared with experimental values. Results showed that this method was fairly capable of evaluating radial deformation behavior in lower cylindrical parts of the vessel.
