3D-thermo-structural simulation of pressure tube–calandria tube behaviour under accident conditions in PHWR using ABAQUS
Abstract
In-depth understanding of the thermo-structural behaviour of structure system and components (SSCs) of a nuclear power plant is necessary for both safety margin assessment, and for devising appropriate prevention and accident mitigation strategies. In a pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR), the fuel in the form of fuel bundles resides inside pressure tube (PT). The pressure tube is surrounded by a co-axial calandria tube (CT). The heat …
