备注

蒸汽发生器传热管是核反应堆冷却剂系统压力边界的重要组成部分,研究严重事故下蒸汽发生器传热管诱发破裂现象及其影响因素对支持二级概率安全分析意义重大.以CPR1000电厂全厂断电叠加蒸汽发生器安全阀卡开事故为基础事故序列,分析了轴封破口、环路水封清除和下降管水封清除现象对蒸汽发生器传热管诱发蠕变破裂现象的影响,并对二次侧卸压-补水和一次侧卸压-补水两种缓解策略的效果进行了研究.结果表明:轴封破口现象会影响逆向自然循环流量,但不会影响热管段和蒸汽发生器传热管发生蠕变破裂的先后顺序; 而环路水封清除和下降管水封清除现象会打破热管段逆向自然循环现象,并导致蒸汽发生器传热管比其他冷却剂系统边界更早失效,从而带来安全壳旁通风险; 而二次侧卸压-补水策略和一次侧卸压-补水策略都可以达到降低蒸汽发生器传热管诱发破裂风险的效果.该研究结果有助于改进二级概率安全分析结果,指导CPR1000电厂制定相关严重事故缓解措施并提升严重事故管理导则的事故处置能力.

Steam generator(SG)tubes are a substantial portion of the reactor coolant pressure boundary(RCPB).Analysis of severe accident induced steam generator tube rupture(SAI-SGTR)phenomena is of great importance for level 2 probabilistic safety assessment(PSA).The base case in this paper is steam generator safety valve stuck-open accident combined with station blackout(SBO)in the CPR1000 power plant.In addition,the influence of seal loss-of-coolant accident(LOCA),loop seal clear and downcomer seal clear phenomena on the SAI-SGTR results were analyzed based on the base case.Our analyses indicate that the occurrence of seal LOCA has influence on the flow rate of the hot leg counter-current natural circulation,but it cannot change the sequence of the occurrence of hot leg creep rupture(HLCR)and SAI-SGTR.However,it is observed that the loop seal clear and downcomer seal clear phenomena can break the original hot leg counter-current natural circulation and lead to earlier occurrence of SAI-SGTR than that of other RCPB,which results in the containment bypass risk in the end.Moreover,both the secondary bleed-and-feed strategy and the primary bleed-and-feed strategy show great mitigation effectiveness to lower the risk of induced-SGTR.The results of this study are helpful to improve the results of level 2 PSA,to guide the CPR1000 power plant to develop relevant severe accident mitigation strategies,and to enhance the accident handling ability of severe accident management guidelines(SAMGs).
