Analysis of BWR station blackout accident; Thermal-hydraulic behavior up to severe core damage in Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant Unit 2

Watanabe, Tadashi; Ishigaki, Masahiro ; Satou, Akira ; Nakamura, Hideo  

The analysis of long-term station blackout accident of BWR has been performed using TRAC-BF1 code. The actuation of RCIC was assumed, and the results were compared with the observed data at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant unit 2 reactor. The effectiveness of recovery action for reactor cooling was discussed after the termination of RCIC. A BWR-5 with 1100 MW was analyzed, while the unit 2 was a BWR-4 with 780 MW. The reactor pressure and the core liquid level were, however, in good agreement with the observed data. It was confirmed that the quasi-steady state was continued for a long time by the RCIC actuation. The timing of recovery action, which is composed of depressurization and coolant injection, necessary for the clad temperature being less than 1500 K was studied and compared with the unit 2.
