Abstract
Overpressure protection analysis of KAERI's advanced integral reactor, which has been developed to verify the performance of the System integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor (SMART), has been performed using the Transients And Setpoint Simulation/Small and Medium Reactor (TASS/SMR) code. In the analysis, the loss of feed-water and the regulating bank withdrawal events on behalf of the decrease in the heat removal by the secondary system and the reactivity and power distribution anomalies are selected as the initiating events for the analysis because the highest peak pressures of the primary system occur during these events. Conservative assumptions and the various initial/boundary conditions have been applied to the overpressure protection analysis for the advanced integral reactor. Although the pressurization of the primary system occurs due to an unbalance between the power generation in the core and the heat removal through the steam generator, the peak pressures in the cases of using the loss of feed-water and the regulating bank withdrawal event as an initiating event are well below the acceptance criteria of 18.7 MPa, due to the reactor protection system and three pilot operated safety relief valves installed in the advanced integral reactor.
