Abstract

Developing the advanced nuclear power plant design to meet the demanding safety, efficiency and environmental goals of electric utilities requires great efforts. In this paper, a design of the safety systems for the large-power PWR units is introduced, which is deemed a optimal combination of the passive safety systems with the active safety systems. The typical design basis accidents are analyzed for this safety system design, such as the Small Break LOCA, SGTR, SLB and Loss of Flow Accidents (LOFA). The results show that the safety systems of the passives combined the actives can mitigate effectively these typical accidents in large-power PWRs. PSA results also show that the passive safety systems contributes to the reduction of the CDF. It is preliminarily concluded that the passive combined active safety system is designed in balance.
