2011年3月の東京電力福島第一原子力発電所事故を受けて制定された新規制基準対応としてHTTRの内部溢水に係る対策及び影響評価を実施した。影響評価にあたっては、高温ガス炉の特徴を考慮し、機器・配管の想定破損による溢水、火災の拡大防止のために設置される系統からの放水による溢水及び地震に伴う機器・配管の破損による溢水を想定し、それぞれに対して没水、被水、蒸気による溢水の影響評価を行った。また、放射性物質を含む液体の管理区域外への溢水についても影響評価を行った。この結果、HTTRで発生した溢水は、対策をとることによって原子炉施設の安全機能に影響を及ぼさないことを確認した。

In response to the new regulatory standards established in response to the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in March 2011, measures and impact assessments related to internal flooding at HTTR were carried out. In assessing the impact, considering the characteristics of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, flooding due to assumed damage to piping and equipment, flooding due to water discharge from the system installed to prevent the spread of fire, and flooding due to damage to piping and equipment due to an earthquake. The effects of submersion, flooding, and flooding due to steam were evaluated for each of them. The impact of the overflow of liquids containing radioactive materials outside the radiation-controlled area was also evaluated. As a result, it was confirmed that flooding generated at HTTR does not affect the safety function of the reactor facility by taking measures.
