Seismic response analysis of full-scale boiling water reactor using three-dimensional finite element method

This paper presents the three-dimensional finite element seismic response analysis of full-scale boiling water reactor BWR5 at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station subjected to the Niigata-ken Chuetsu-Oki earthquake that occurred on 16 July 2007. During the earthquake, the automatic shutdown system of the reactors was activated successfully. Although the monitored seismic acceleration significantly exceeded the design level, it was found that there were no significant damages of the reactor cores or other important systems, structures and components through in-depth investigation. In the seismic design commonly used in Japan, a lumped mass model is employed to evaluate the seismic response of structures and components. Although the lumped mass model has worked well so far for a seismic proof design, it is still needed to develop more precise methods for the visual understanding of response behaviors. In the present study, we propose the three-dimensional finite element seismic response analysis of the full-scale and precise BWR model in order to directly visualize its dynamic behaviors. Through the comparison between both analysis results, we discuss the characteristics of both models. The stress values were also found to be generally under the design value.     

Seismic analysis of RCS with finite element model for advanced PWR

Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCPs) are very important to the safe operation of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs), especially during the earthquake, which needs detailed seismic analysis of individual RCPs and the boundary conditions, for example, at the nozzles. In this paper, three-dimensional finite element model of Reactor Coolant System (RCS) is constructed from a systematic perspective to perform dynamic evaluation, in which the boundary conditions could be given. The seismic spectrum analysis with three orthotropic directions is performed to obtain the stress and displacement response, which shows that the maximum Tresca stress locates in the connection part of SG with RCP and the maximum displacement occurs at the surge line. Sensitivity analysis of spectrum input angle and stiffness of supports is performed, which may be useful to further design and analysis. Furthermore, direct integration method is used to perform time-history analysis, and the boundary conditions of RCP, the loads, acceleration and displacement at nozzles are obtained, which could support the detailed analysis of RCP components. Besides, the lumped mass model of RCS is also constructed to compare with three-dimensional finite element model, which means that for the complicated geometry the 3-D model is better than the lumped mass model.     

Scram reliability under seismic conditions at the Experimental Breeder Reactor II

A level 1 probabilistic risk assessment of the Experimental Breeder Reactor 11 has recently been completed. Seismic events are among the external initiating events included in the assessment. The analysis indicated that the reactor shutdown system had a high reliability of operation in response to internally initiated events. One of the major tasks within the seismic assessment concentrated on the ability to shut down the reactor under seismic conditions. A comprehensive analysis of the shutdown system, including the development of a finite element model of the reactor control rod drive system, has been used to estimate the system response when subjected to input seismic accelerations. The results indicate the control rod driven system has a high seismic capacity and that the overall reactor shutdown system is capable of maintaining its high reliability under seismic conditions. The estimated seismic fragility for the overall reactor shutdown system is dominated by the primary tank failure.

Structural analysis of a three-dimensional perforated plate by the finite element method with test correlation

An application of the finite element method to a three-dimensional perforated plate structure is presented using a nested modeling technique. Stresses calculated by a general three-dimensional finite element computer program were compared with those obtained from a model test. The structure considered in this analysis is a plenum cover of a pressurized water reactor internal which is a circular perforated plate stiffened with welded cross ribs. This type of structure is common in reactor internals. The nested model analyses consist of two finite element models; one is for the overall structure model and the other for an isolated portion of the structure with refined grid system for more accurate stress calculation. The first model was analyzed to obtain the nodal displacements under the applied loads. Then the second model was run using the displacement boundary conditions obtained from the first model analysis. A fully instrumented Plexiglas model test was conducted to verify this method. Comparison between the test results and the calculated stresses from the second model analysis showed good agreement.     

Benchmark calculations of pressurizer model for Maanshan nuclear power plant using TRACE code

The pressurizer plays an important role in controlling the pressure of the primary coolant system in pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plants. An accurate modeling of the pressurizer is needed to determine the pressure response of the primary coolant system, and thus to successfully simulate overall PWR nuclear power plant behavior during transients. The purpose of this study is to develop a pressurizer model, and to assess its pressure transients using the TRACE code version 5.0. The benchmark of the pressurizer model was performed by comparing the simulation results with those from the tests at the Maanshan nuclear power plant. Four start-up tests of the Maanshan nuclear power plant are collected and simulated: (1) turbine trip test from 100% power (Test PAT-50); (2) large-load reduction at 100% power (Test PAT-49); (3) net-load trip at 100% power (Test PAT-51); and (4) net-load trip at 50% power (Test PAT-21). The simulation results show that the predictions of the pressure response are in reasonable agreement with the power plant's start-up tests, and thus the pressurizer model built in this study is successfully verified and validated.
