The Analysis of Severe Accident Induced Steam Generator Tube Rupture and LERF Risk

Abstract:

This study develops a methodology to assess the probability for the degraded PWR steam generator to rupture first in the reactor coolant pressure boundary, under severe accident conditions with countercurrent natural circulating high temperature gas in the hot leg and SG tubes. The first step performs thermal-hydraulic analysis to predict the creep rupture parameter of the tubes in severe accident. The next step applies the creep rupture models to test the potential for the degraded SG to rupture before the hot leg. Then, the mean of the SG tube rupture probability was applied to estimate large early release frequency in LERF (Large and Early Release Frequency) model, and the overall LERF risk due to the Induced SGTR was calculated. In the final step, implementation of severe accident management guidance (SAMG), such as the RCS depressurization and refilling to SG, is evaluated using PSA approach. It can be found that strategy of RCS depressurization and refilling to SG can mitigate the result of induced SGTR and LERF effectively.
