22 Sodium Loop Operation Experience Operation philosophy An established operating sequence followed meticulously. Key operational sodium parameters such as the flow, temperature and purity are monitored and maintained Sodium purity maintained at reactor grade by cold trap Plugging runs taken weekly to monitor and maintain the oxygen level less than 2 ppm. Impurities in sodium & purification Impurities (Ca, O, H and C) ingress into sodium from air, moisture, Carbon-dioxide, oils, and greases. Due to reactive nature of sodium, Oxygen would be present not only as dissolved oxide, but also as surface coating (solid oxide). Even though carbon solubility is low, carbon can be present as dispersed particulates. Periodic sampling of loop sodium is carried out annually/ between test campaigns using the overflow type sodium sampler Impurity levels of oxygen, carbon and trace elements determined by chemical analysis.
23 Sodium Loop Operation Experience Sodium leak detection Liquid sodium reacts violently with air / water. It requires a leak tight containment and specialized sensors to detect leak in the incipient stage itself to ensure safety. Leakage of sodium can be detected in multiple ways Sodium aerosol detection Sodium Ionisation Detector (SID) Sodium leak detection wire type spark plug type Mutual Inductance type Leak Detector SID detects minute quantity of sodium leak and tests demonstrated that it can detect 1 mg of sodium per m 3 of carrier gas instantaneously. Wire type leak sensors detect leak in the pipelines Spark plug type leak sensors detect the leak in sodium capacities, bellow sealed valves and double envelope. MILD works on the principle of decrease in mutual inductance between two coils when sodium surrounds it.
24 Sodium Loop Operation Experience Minor sodium leak incidents Incidence of leak in LCTR - less Maximum sodium leak was 2.8 kg from sodium to air heat exchanger due to failure of a finned tube to tube sheet weld joint. Other sodium leaks < 100 g in bellows sealed valves due to stress corrosion Sodium fire and extinguishing methods Sodium fire is characterised by short flame golden yellow in colour and dense white oxide smoke. Sodium oxidizes spontaneously in air, with the evolution of heat. As sodium temperature increases, the rate of oxidation also increases, resulting in sodium catching fire. Sodium fire extinguished by application of dry chemical powder. Flooding with Argon or nitrogen to smother the fire. This method is slow and effective but is difficult in inaccessible areas. Blanketing or oxygen starvation
25 Sodium Loop Operation Experience Handling of sodium components During introduction and removal of components into Test vessel - positive pressure and continuous Argon purging are maintained to eliminate the ingress of atmospheric air into the system. Cleaning of sodium exposed components is necessary for reuse of components and its safe storage. Cleaning methods involving chemical reactions - dangerous and the resulting phenomena are complex. Alcohol and thermo fluid oil - piping and small components like valves. Dry steam along with nitrogen purging Jet of water - parts with very simple geometry Process of carbon dioxide bubbled through hot water Large components
26 Safety Aspects Operation of the rig is carried out based on approved technical specifications and by trained manpower. Dyke of 0.6 m height provided around the storage tanks in dump pit - to avoid entry of water into the pit under conditions of inundation Dump tanks and all other sodium system components are of helium leak tight construction Floor area and side walls (upto 2m) inside dump pit are steel lined with 5 mm thick MS plate to avoid contact / reaction of sodium with concrete Accumulation of small quantity of water over long periods under the MS liner removed using a small pump. Water level in the sump is indicated by a level detector and in turn linked to a level alarm. All the test vessels are provided with over flow lines which are linked to dump tank. Covered leak collection trays are provided below test vessels to collect the leaking sodium and extinguish the fire by passive means.
27 Safety Aspects All the major capacities like sodium storage tanks and test vessels are provided with wire type leak detectors. Povisions are made to handle two types of fires - sodium metal fire and conventional fires. Proper functioning of all the instrumentation systems, safety inter locks, dump valves, sodium leak detection system, diesel generator operation, Un Interrupted Power Supply (UPS) and battery banks are checked periodically as per operation procedure and technical specifications. Any significant event / leak was analysed and corrective action taken. All industrial hygiene and safety requirements as stipulated in the Atomic Energy (factories) rules are complied with during all operations in the sodium facilities. Periodic review / inspection by regulatory bodies Preventive / breakdown /surveillance tests were meticulously followed with approved procedure
28 Improvements Proposed For Future Facilities Material of construction: AISI 316 LN is better compared to AISI 316. Storage tanks: vertical tanks due to easier design, low thermal shocks and easier supporting. Cold trap: Larger capacity for faster purification after experiments Operating experience of EM Pumps has been satisfactory and suggested to use ALIP in future facilities. Recommended to have a level probe in the priming vessel for the priming of the pump Failure of 50 % of the heaters in vertical Heater Vessel [HV] had occurred after 15 years of operation. So a vertical HV with additional heaters with dished ends will be suitable. Alternate dump paths for the large sodium capacities should be provided. Mineral Insulated Sheathed heaters shall be used as surface heaters. Unbreakable bead type sleeves to be used to avoid spurious leak signals At the outlet of the Plugging indicator blower, a smoke detector and sodium ionization flute pipe for aerosol detection is recommended.
29 Improvements Proposed for Future Facilities Periodical check of the leak port of bellows sealed valves for any blockage like foreign particles and cleaning ensures prompt leak signal Cleanliness shall be maintained to reduce the probability of blockage of the SID sampling flute holes and frequent surveillance/ cleaning of the flute pipes is necessary. Mutual Inductance type discrete sensors instead of Resistance Type Level Probes to be used. Air drier unit needs to be utilized in the compressed air circuit to reduce the moisture carryover to the solenoid actuated pneumatic valves. Diesel Generator set shall be positioned at a higher elevation on a pedestal above FFL to take care of any revision in the DBFL in future. Single crane in high bay lead to queuing of the experimental activities. Two cranes of different load carrying capacities are recommended.
30 Summary Comprehensive picture of the Sodium facilities in operation and planned at IGCAR are given Large Component Test Rig was operated successfully for more than 20 years without any major incidents. PFBR components were tested in sodium, qualified and installed in the reactor. Experiments on R&D for development of sodium technology continuously pursued for future FBRs In-sodium sensors and devices were developed and tested for FBR applications Experience gained during the course of operation of LCTR. Experience gained on methods of handling of components for testing in sodium and effective cleaning thereafter for reuse Feedback of the experience provided as input to the design of new sodium test facility. Overall experience in operating the sodium loops at high temperature has given us the confidence to continue further experiments and design and commissioning of new sodium facilities.
