Reliability studies of decay heat removal system
2010 2nd International Conference on Reliability, Safety and Hazard - Risk-Based Technologies and Physics-of-Failure Methods (ICRESH), 2010Passive systems have been implemented in most of the advanced reactors in order to improve the availability of the plant. In this paper the methodology used for performing the passive system reliability analysis has been discussed. A case study on passive decay heat removal system of large sized PHWRs has also been discussed.

Impact of Wind Velocity on the Performance of the RVACS Decay Heat Removal System
Nuclear Technology, 1997 The impact of wind velocity on the performance of the reactor vessel auxiliary cooling system (RVACS) of an advanced liquid-metal reactor design is analyzed, and design modifications that mitigate adverse wind effects are investigated. In the reference design, the reactor is served by four communicating RVACS stacks, and each stack has two air inlets ...

Investigations of accelerator reliability and decay heat removal for accelerator-driven system
Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2019Abstract To realize the feasible accelerator-driven system (ADS) concept, the investigations for the reliable accelerator and conceptual plant design considering safety issues were performed. As the reliable accelerator concept, the double-accelerator concept was proposed to reduce the beam-trip frequency.

Chemical Engineering Science, 2010 In nuclear safety operations, condensing heat transfer area is placed in a large pool of liquid to accommodate passive thermal decay. Such systems are subject to pool boiling and thermal stratification. Velocity and temperature measurements were carried out in a 300 mm i.d. vessel with a central tube as the heat transfer area.
