A new computational code, SPECTRA, has been developed for integrated analysis of in- and ex-vessel phenomena during severe accidents in sodium-cooled fast reactors. The in-vessel thermal hydraulics module includes coupled analytical models for multidimensional multifluid model considering compressibility and relocation of a molten core. A lumped mass model is employed for computing behavior of ex-vessel compressible multicomponent gas including aerosols. This model is coupled with the models for ex-vessel phenomena such as sodium fire. Loss of reactor level event starting from leakage of sodium coolant was computed. Basic capability to evaluate severe accident progress was demonstrated through this analysis.

Development of the multi-scenario simulation systems for in-vessel/ex-vessel phenomena under severe accident in sodium cooled fast reactor is important issue. In this study, the basic modules for in-vessel/ex-vessel thermal hydraulics analysis were developed. The in-vessel basic module could evaluate phenomenon of coolant leakage in primary cooling system successfully. The ex-vessel basic module was validated through comparison to the analysis results by the other code or theoretical solutions.

The multi-level, multi-scenario simulation systems have been developed as a fundamental technology of sodium-cooled fast reactors. In this study, a multi-scenario simulation system for in- and ex-vessel phenomena during a severe accident was newly developed. The validity of the system was confirmed through the analysis of a Loss-Of-Reactor-Level (LORL) event.
