The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is preparing to accept anticipated licensing applications for the commercial use of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) in commercial nuclear power plants in the United States. It is the objective of the NRC to evaluate the effects of ATF designs on severe accident behavior, and to determine potential changes to the NRC severe accident analysis computer codes that would simulate plant conditions using ATFs commensurate with the accuracy in accident analyses involving conventional fuels. This report documents the development of Phenomena Identification and Ranking Tables (PIRTs) for near-term ATFs under severe accident conditions in light water reactors (LWRs). The PIRTs were developed by a panel of experts for various near-term ATF design concepts (i.e., FeCrAl cladding, zirconium alloy cladding coated with chromium, and CrO dopants in uranium dioxide fuels) in addition to the impacts from fuel enrichment and burnup. Panel members also considered the severe accident implications of the longer-term ATF concepts. The main figures-of-merit considered in this ranking process are the amount of fission products released into the containment and the quantity of combustible gases generated during an accident. Special focus is given to whether existing severe accident codes and models would be sufficient as applied to LWRs employing these fuels, and whether additional experimental studies or model development would be warranted.

安全注入機能と不凝縮ガス格納機能を有する圧力抑制系の革新的概念を将来型軽水炉に適用するため構築した。本システムは、(1)現行軽水炉の場合と同等な低い圧力レベルでの格納容器圧力の維持,(2)炉容器冷却又は破断口水没のための格納容器への水注入,(3)ドライウェル内不凝縮ガスの格納、を行なうことにより、冷却材喪失事故の影響を緩和する特徴がある。ガス格納機能により、不凝縮ガスによる熱交換器の伝熱劣化が生じ無いため、本システムは、一体型炉における蒸気発生器二次側冷却系や格納容器静的冷却系のような熱交換器を使用する受動的冷却系との組み合わせ使用に適している。開発した概念の有用性はRELAP5/MOD3コードを用いて確認している。
