  3. 17. CFD simulation of pool dynamics in a nuclear reactor's condensation pool

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Anders Jansson; [2014]
    Keywords : CFD; computational fluid dynamics; condensation pool; pool dynamics; nuclear reactor; CFD; beräkningsströmningsdynamik; kondensationsbassäng; pooldynamik; kärnkraftsreaktor;

    Abstract : In a nuclear reactor the containment protects the environment from radioactive emissions. It is separated in two parts, a drywell and a wetwell. The drywell contains the reactor vessel and the steam pipes. If a steam leakage occurs in this part of the containment the pressure will increase. READ MORE

  4. 18. Control rod drop during hot zero power : RIA in BWR

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Malin Fritz; [2013]
    Keywords : Control rod; RIA; BWR;

    Abstract : During operation of nuclear power reactors reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) can occur, such as a control rod drop. If this occurs, the reactivity increase dramatically and leads to an increase in power, fuel enthalpy and fuel temperature. The fuel and reactor can be damaged. READ MORE

  5. 19. Validation of TRACE Code against ROSA/LSTF Test for SBLOCA of Pressure Vessel Upper-Head Small Break

    University essay from KTH/Kärnkraftssäkerhet

    Author : Mian Xing; [2012]
    Keywords : SBLOCA; LSTF; TRACE; thermal-hydraulics transient; safety analysis;

    Abstract : OECD/NEA ROSA/LSTF project tests are performed on the Large Scale Test Facility (LSTF). LSTF is a full-height, full-pressure and 1/48 volumetrically-scaled two-loop system which aims to simulate Japanese Tsuruga-2 Westinghouse-type 4-loop PWR. READ MORE

  6. 20. Response of the Gamma TIP Detectorsin a Nuclear Boiling Water Reactor

    University essay from Tillämpad kärnfysik

    Author : Richard Fridström; [2010]
    Keywords : TIP; BWR; gamma; detector; MCNP; POLCA;

    Abstract : In order to monitor a nuclear boiling water reactor fixed and movable detectors are used, such as the neutron sensitive LPRM (Local Power Range Monitors) detectors and the gamma sensitive TIP (Traversing Incore Probe) detectors. These provide a mean to verify the predictions obtained from core simulators, which are used for planning and following up the reactor operation. READ MORE
