摘要
The transient analyses for the lead-bismuth cooled Accelerator-Driven System (ADS) were performed with the use of the SIMMER-III and RELAP5/mod3.2 codes to investigate the possibility of the core damage. Five accidents; the beam window breakage, the protected loss of heat sink, the beam overpower, the unprotected loss of flow and the unprotected blockage accident were analyzed as the typical accidents in the ADS. Through these calculations, it was confirmed that all calculation results except the protected loss of heat sink satisfied the no-damage criteria. In the protected loss of heat sink, the cladding tube temperature reached at the melting temperature after 20 h although the calculation condition was very conservative. It is required to design a safety system of the ADS to decrease the frequencies of the accidents and to ease the accidents. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
