Abstract

The aim of this work is the modeling and simulation of in-containment fission products (FPs) quantification and behavior under loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in terms of NUREG-1465 key aspects. For this purpose, a kinetic model has been developed to determine the quantification and behavior of in-containment source term after loss of coolant accident for typical 1000MWe PWR. A more realistic approach of continuous release of fission products from damaged core has been implemented with coolant retention. The simulation for in-containment fission product quantification influenced by containment atmosphere and containment system response has been carried out. Dramatic results have been obtained upon comparison study of fission product behaviors with different computational values. Moreover a contradiction in mixing rate (wx) value has been observed with a factor of 10 in comparison with Saeed et al. (2012).
