A Study on timing of rapid depressurization action during PWR vessel bottom break LOCA with HPI failure and AIS-gas inflow, ROSA-V/LSTF test SB-PV-06

Suzuki, Mitsuhiro; Takeda, Takeshi ; Asaka, Hideaki; Nakamura, Hideo  

A small break LOCA experiment (SB-PV-06) was conducted at the LSTF of ROSA-V program to study effects of rapid secondary depressuriza-tion action on core cooling as one of accident management (AM) measures for a PWR in case of high pressure injection system failure and non-condensable gas inflow from the accumulator injection system. The break simulated 10 instrument tubes rupture equivalent to 0.2% cold leg break. It was clarified through comparison with former experiments that (1) the depressurization initiated by detecting the vessel level below the primary loop (4545s) was degraded by the gas inflow resulting in whole core uncovery prior to the start of low pressure injection and (2) an alternative start of the depressurization by detecting level decrease at the SG outlet plenum (2330s), would limit the core uncovery suggesting more effective parameter for the AM measures. The report presents the experiment results with the effects of rapid depressurization initiation timing.
