ポンプなどの動力に頼らない自然循環方式崩壊熱除去システムは、ナトリウム冷却高速炉の安全性向上に効果的であると認識されている。本論文では、浸漬型冷却器(DHX)やラッパー管のギャップも含めた炉心内の熱流動挙動を評価できる数値解析手法を確立するために、DHXと炉上部プレナムを模したPLANDTL-2におけるナトリウム試験の予備解析を行い、解析モデルの妥当性について述べた。

A probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) should be performed not only for earthquake and tsunami which are major natural events in Japan but also for other natural external hazards. However, PRA methodologies for other external hazards and their combination have not been sufficiently developed. This study is aimed at developing a PRA methodology for the combination of low temperature and snow for a sodium-cooled fast reactor which uses the ambient air as its ultimate heat sink to remove decay heat under accident conditions. The annual exceedance probabilities of low temperature and of snow can be statistically estimated based on the meteorological records of temperature, snow depth and daily snowfall depth. To identify core damage sequence, an event tree was developed by considering the impact of low temperature and snow on decay heat removal systems (DHRSs), e.g., a clogged intake and/or outtake for a DHRS and for an emergency diesel generator, an unopenable door on necessary access routes due to accumulated snow, failure of intake filters due to accumulated snow, and possibility of water freezing in cooling circuits. Recovery actions (i.e., snow removal and filter replacement) to prevent loss of DHRS function were also considered in developing the event tree. Furthermore, considering that a dominant contributor to snow risk can be failure of snow removal around intakes and outtakes caused by loss of the access routes, this study has investigated effects of electric heaters installed around the intakes and outtakes as an additional countermeasure. By using the annual exceedance probabilities and failure probabilities, the event tree was quantified. The result showed that a dominant core damage sequence caused by a snow and low temperature combination hazard is the failure of the electric heaters and the loss of the access routes for snow removal due to low temperature and snowfall which last for a day, and daily snowfall depth of 2 m/day.

ナトリウム冷却高速炉で想定されている複数種の崩壊熱除去システムの運用時における炉容器内の熱流動挙動を再現する水流動試験装置を製作した。製作した試験装置は、相似則検討および基礎試験結果により高速炉の縮尺模擬試験に適用することが示された。さらに、ループ型炉およびプール型炉で導入が検討されている浸漬型DHX運用時の炉内流動の可視化試験結果とFLUENTにより実験を数値シミュレーションした結果を示す。
