6 Severe accident management EBO and in EMO SIPHON AND REACTOR CAVITY FLOODING DEPRESSURIZATION OF PRIMARY CIRCUIT MANAGEMENT OF HYDROGEN IN CONTAINMENT The SAM project is divided into following subprojects: BREAKER OF VACUUM IN CONTAINMENT ALTERNATIVE COOLANT SYSTEM ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM INFORMATION SOURCES C&I - PAMS AND CONTROL LONG-TERM HEAT REMOVAL FROM CONTAINMENT 6

7 SIPHON AND REACTOR CAVITY FLOODING SAM specific Localization and stabilization of the corium is one of the objectives of the strategy to manage the consequences of severe accidents. The most effective strategy for reactors of small and medium size appear to be localization and stabilization of the corium in the reactor vessel by cooling the outer surface of RPV (In-Vessel Retention Strategy). Measures are implemented to provide an intentional flooding of the reactor cavity. Date Title of presentation 7

10 SIPHON AND REACTOR CAVITY FLOODING Opening to the thermal and neutron shielding of RPV and floaters of coolant inflow to the outer surface of RPV Date Title of presentation 10

11 DEPRESSURIZATION OF PRIMARY CIRCUIT SAM specific Should the severe accident conditions are detected the primary circuit depressurization system is activated to prevent High Pressure core melt scenario. The depressurization valve is open by operator (the ability of depressurization valves to close is not required). At the time of the core relocation there should be in the reactor pressure vessel a relatively low pressure. The aim of the primary circuit depressurization is a mitigation of severe accidents and preventing the ejection of the core melt under high pressure. Target pressure in the primary circuit is less than 2 MPa. Date Title of presentation 11

14 MANAGEMENT OF HYDROGEN IN CONTAINMENT SAM specific During a severe accident involving core damage of pressurized water reactors a significant amounts of combustible gases (H2, CO) can be produced. The internal ("in-vessel") phase of an accident causes mainly the production of H2 as a result of oxidation of zirconium fuel elements and assemblies components and structures made of stainless steel.

15 MANAGEMENT OF HYDROGEN IN CONTAINMENT Date Title of presentation 15

16 BREAKER OF VACUUM IN CONTAINMENT SAM specific Breaker of vacuum in the containment is designed to avoid development of a deep vacuum in the containment. The liner of containment wall can be potentially damaged and can loose the tightness capability under accident conditions. This situation can happen when the containment spray fails to stop under containment low pressure conditions. The containment breaker is controlled manually by operator (automatically at Mochovce 3 and 4). It allows to transfer the air from air traps to the central part of containment. There is no opening of containment to the external environment. Date Title of presentation 16

17 BREAKER OF VACUUM IN CONTAINMENT Date Title of presentation 17

18 ALTERNATIVE COOLANT SYSTEM SAM specific The alternative coolant system is designed for specific use under severe accident conditions. Two tanks (three in Bohunice) with capacity of 1000 m3 of borated coolant provide extra boration system. Pumps pump this coolant to the following: - Reactor pressure vessel (PC pressure bellow 2 MPa). - Containment Spray System - Spent Fuel Pool There are two tanks, three pumps. The EMO1,2 Alternative Coolant System is interconnected with MO 3,4 Alternative Coolant System. Date Title of presentation 18

20 ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM SAM specific Alternative electric power supply system (DG SAM) is a new device designed to power consumers that are intended for the prevention and management of severe accidents. SAM DG: Power 1,2 MW, (2,5 MW in Mochovce) Voltage 6 kv Electrical power from SAM DG is supplied to: - Valves - Pumps - Workplaces on control room and Emergency Control Center SAM DG is stable and is common for two units.

25 LONG-TERM HEAT REMOVAL FROM THE CONTAINMENT The existing system modified for operation under SAM conditions Design criterion: Ensure sufficiently powerful and reliable long-term heat removal from containment Operability recovery strategy of existing safety systems is adopted - Containment Spray System. New pipelines are designed to ensure the ultimate coolant delivery to the reactor cavity, Spent Fuel Pool and Alternative Coolant System tanks (make up). Date Title of presentation 25
