PIRTs have been developed and are reported for the 3 sequence event families of SFR severe accidents. For ULOF, there are 13 phenomena ranked with high importance and large uncertainty. Two PIRTs for primary phase of UTOP have been developed based on those of ULOF. Two phenomena with high importance and large uncertainty both in FRN and JPN ranking are highlighted. For USAF PIRT, they are eight phenomena ranked important and uncertain by both sides related to heat transfer coefficient, chunk relocation in the molten pool of the initiating SA and to thermomechanical loading on the hexcan of the initiating SA. These phenomena are recognized to deserve priority study. The event progression regarding FP transport focusing on phenomena of ULOF is investigated. Seven phenomenological phases were identified along with the accident sequences and of their events progression. The summary of the elementary phenomena on this PIRT, and the vote for the table are foreseen in the future study.

The OECD NEA Working Group on Analysis and Management of Accidents (WGAMA) is responsible for activities related to potential accidental situations in nuclear power plants address the safety aspects of existing reactors and emerging safety challenges to enable safety design and operation of advanced nuclear technologies, including those for SMRs. The WGAMA objective is to assess and, where necessary, strengthen the technical basis needed for the prevention, mitigation and management of potential accidents in NPPs, and to facilitate international convergence on safety issues and accident management analyses and strategies. The achievements of WGAMA have been outstanding in preparing technical reports, becoming reference materials, and in organizing workshops and conferences to discuss innovative methods, materials and technologies in the fields of thermal-hydraulics (T/Hs), CFD and severe accidents. This paper aims to review and summarize the recent WGAMA activities and outcomes, as well as future perspectives, focusing on nuclear reactor T/Hs safety analysis in water cooled reactors and possible applications to advanced designs.

被引用回数:10 パーセンタイル:97.09(Nuclear Science & Technology)Neutron-induced reactions can be used to study the properties of nuclear materials in the field of nuclear safeguards and security. The elemental and isotopic composition of these materials can be determined by using the presence of resonance structures in the reaction cross sections as fingerprints. This idea is the basis of two non-destructive analytical techniques which have been developed at the GELINA neutron time-of-flight facility of the JRC-IRMM: Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis (NRCA) and Neutron Resonance Transmission Analysis (NRTA). A full quantitative validation of the NRTA technique was obtained by determining the areal densities of enriched reference samples used for safeguards applications with an accuracy better than 1%. Moreover, a combination of NRTA and NRCA has been proposed for the characterisation of particle-like debris of melted fuel formed in severe nuclear accidents. In order to deal with the problems due to the diversity in shape and size of these samples and the presence of strong absorbing matrix materials, new capabilities have been implemented in the resonance shape analysis code REFIT. They have been validated by performing a blind test in which the elemental abundance of a combined sample composed of unknown quantities of materials such as cobalt, tungsten, rhodium or gold was determined with accuracies better than 2%.

原子炉シビアアクシデント時のソースタームを評価するうえでは燃料からのFP放出挙動の評価が重要である。このため欧米で種々の実験が実施されてきた。しかしながら、これらの実験の回数及び実験条件は限られているため、短半減期FP、低揮発性FPの放出、及び燃料溶融を含む高温高圧条件の放出データを中心に大きな不確実性を含んでいる。これらの点を明確にするため、原研では国内の発電用原子炉で照射された燃料を用いてFPの放出挙動を調べるVEGA実験計画を開始した。同実験では、ホットセル内で短尺燃料を事故を模擬した高温まで誘導加熱する。この計画では、燃料を融点を超える高温まで、1.0MPaまでの高圧条件で加熱し、データの少ない低揮発性及び短半減期FPに注目してその放出及び移行挙動を調べる。
