An experiment denoted as IB-HL-01 was conducted on November 19, 2009 using the Large Scale Test Facility (LSTF) in the Rig of Safety Assessment-V (ROSA-V) Program. The ROSA/LSTF experiment IB-HL-01 simulated a 17% hot leg intermediate break loss-of-coolant accident due to a double-ended guillotine break of pressurizer surge line in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The break was simulated by a long nozzle upwardly mounted flush with a hot leg inner surface. The test assumptions included total failure of both high pressure injection system of emergency core cooling system (ECCS) and auxiliary feedwater system. In the experiment, relatively large size of break led to a fast transient of phenomena. The primary pressure steeply dropped after the break, and became lower than steam generator (SG) secondary-side pressure. Break flow turned from single-phase flow to two-phase flow soon after the break. Core uncovery started simultaneously with liquid level drop in downflow-side of crossover leg before loop seal clearing (LSC). The LSC was induced in both loops by steam condensation on accumulator (ACC) coolant of ECCS injected into cold legs. The whole core was quenched owing to the rapid recovery in the core liquid level after the LSC. Peak cladding temperature of simulated fuel rods was detected almost concurrently with the LSC. During the ACC coolant injection, liquid levels recovered in the hot legs and SG inlet plena because of liquid entrainment from the hot leg into the SG inlet plenum by high-velocity steam flow. After the continuous core cooling was confirmed through the actuation of low pressure injection system of ECCS, the experiment was terminated. This report summarizes the test procedures, conditions, and major observations in the ROSA/LSTF experiment IB-HL-01.

As a part of STRAD project conducted by JAEA, condensation of radioactive liquid waste containing various chemical compounds using reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filter was examined for efficient and safety treatment of the liquid wastes accumulated inside hot laboratories. NH
ion in the feed solution was successfully concentrated, and NH ion involved in the effluents became lower than target value; 100 ppm. Solidification of simulated aqueous and organic liquid wastes was also tested. Those liquids were successfully solidified by adding cement or coagulants. Nevertheless, optimization in materials for confinement of chemicals is required for long time storage of the final solidified wastes.

The SB-HL-12 test simulated PWR 1% hot leg SBLOCA under assumptions of total failure of HPI system and non-condensable gas (nitrogen gas) inflow. SG depressurization by fully opening relief valves in both SGs as AM action was initiated immediately after maximum fuel rod surface temperature reached 600 K. After AM action due to first core uncovery by core boil-off, the primary pressure decreased, causing core mixture level swell. The fuel rod surface temperature then increased up to 635 K. Second core uncovery by core boil-off took place before LSC induced by steam condensation on ACC coolant injected into cold legs. The core liquid level recovered rapidly after LSC. The fuel rod surface temperature then increased up to 696 K. The pressure difference became larger between the primary and SG secondary sides after nitrogen gas inflow. Third core uncovery by core boil-off occurred during reflux condensation. The maximum fuel rod surface temperature exceeded 908 K.

Experiment SB-CL-32 was conducted on May 28, 1996 using the LSTF. The experiment SB-CL-32 simulated 1% cold leg small-break LOCA in PWR under assumptions of total failure of HPI system and no inflow of non-condensable gas from ACC tanks. Secondary-side depressurization of both SGs as AM action to achieve the depressurization rate of 200 K/h in the primary system was initiated 10 min after break. Core uncovery started with liquid level drop in crossover leg downflow-side. The core liquid level recovered rapidly after first LSC. The surface temperature of simulated fuel rod then increased up to 669 K. Core uncovery took place before second LSC induced by steam condensation on ACC coolant. The core liquid level recovered rapidly after second LSC. The maximum fuel rod surface temperature was 772 K. The continuous core cooling was confirmed because of coolant injection by LPI system. This report summarizes the test procedures, conditions and major observation.

The enhancement of drop wise condensation heat transfer by functionalizing a heat transfer surface was examined for 0.1 MPa steam. A gold-plated surface was used to produce the drop wise condensation. Rectangular-grooved heat transfer surfaces were adopted to functionalize the heat transfer surface. The size of the grooves were 2 mm 
2 mm 2 mm, 3 mm 3 mm 3 mm and 2 mm 3 mm 2 mm (depth top width bottom width), respectively. The heat flux of the grooved surface was larger than that of the plain gold-plated surface. When the groove size was 2 mm 2 mm 2 mm and the top parts and the walls of grooves were plated with gold, the heat transfer rate augmentation was highest; the augmentation rate was 1.53. Since to increase the width of the top part of the grooves tended to bring the quality of the surface structure close to the plain surface, it was not right direction. It was also implied that to make summits and troughs on the surface to collect condensate tended to expose the summit part to steam more, which might result in the heat transfer augmentation.

A research project is being conducted at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute on thermal hydraulics for the future reactor systems. The present paper provides the belief description of the project, followed by two recent topics: the natural circulation in the PWR loop and the condensation heat transfer for a passive cooling system. For the first topic, we discuss the importance of the modeling of the nonuniform flow behavior among SG U-tubes for the assessment of the long-term decay heat removal systems relying on the SG secondary side cooling. Such a system is planned to be used in APWR+, a Japanese next-generation PWR. The condensation heat transfer was investigated using the data obtained at the SPOT test facility in Russia. The results have shown that the measured heat transfer rates on the inner surface of the tube consisting of several bends and short straight sections can be predicted using the existing correlations with the accuracy of several percentage, although the correlations are based typically on the data taken using relatively long straight tube.

A passive containment cooling system (PCCS) is under planning to use in a next-generation-type BWR for long-term cooling by condensing steam using horizontal heat exchangers. Heat transfer behavior in a secondary water pool is one of important phenomena governing heat removal performance of the PCCS. Boiling and condensation can be supposed under high heat flux regions and the characteristics of the two-phase natural circulation should be evaluated. This study investigated effects of pool size on the characteristics by multi-dimensional two-fluid model code ACE-3D. It was found from the analyses that the pool size gives no significant influences for the characteristics in tube bundle under local-boiling mode.

A passive containment cooling system (PCCS) is under planning to use in a next-generation-type BWR for long-term cooling by condensing steam using horizontal heat exchangers. Heat transfer behavior in a secondary water pool is one of important phenomena governing heat removal performance of the PCCS. Boiling and condensation can be supposed under high heat flux regions and the two-phase natural circulation might enhance the heat transfer due to an increase of flow rate and a flow agitation. However, some heat transfer tubes might be covered only by steam and the heat transfer is degraded in such region (Steam-blanket effect). This study evaluated the characteristics of the heat transfer behavior in the secondary water pool by multi-dimensional two-fluid model code ACE-3D. It was found from the analyses that no any heat transfer tubes are covered only by steam and the heat transfer is enhanced due to the nucleate boiling and the increase of local liquid flow rate.
