As one of the main experimental facilities in J-PARC, an intense spallation neutron source (JSNS) driven by proton beam power of 1 MW is constructed. In JSNS, cryogenic hydrogen at supercritical pressure is selected as a moderator. The total nuclear heating at the moderators is estimated to be 3.7 kW. A cryogenic hydrogen system to cool the moderators has been designed. As the most severe off-normal event for cryogenic hydrogen system, it is considered that the cryogenic hydrogen leaks when the pipe is cracked. In such a case, the hydrogen must be discharged safely as soon as possible. An analytical code that simulated the pressure change during hydrogen leak was developed. The pressure rise analysis for various sized cracks was performed, and then the required size of safety equipment was determined. It was found from the analysis that a safety valve of -42.7 mm and a rupture disk with the diameter of 37.1 mm can discharge hydrogen safely.
