Sensitivity studies for the station blackout accident with crash-cooldown at a generic 900MW CANDU reactor
Abstract
In the early stage of a Station Blackout (SBO) in a CANDU reactor the operators will initiate crash-cooldown by opening the main steam safety valves (MSSVs) to depressurize the secondary side and allow water supply to the steam generators (SGs) thereby extending natural circulation on the primary side. This work examines the effectiveness of SGs heat removal after crash-cooldown and that of several water make-up options for a generic 900MW …
