Containment Sump Channel Flow Modelling
Nuclear Energy Agency
In the event of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) within containment of a pressurised water reactor (PWR) there is the potential for the generation of debris with the attendant concern of containment sump screen blockage. The debris, consisting piping or equipment insulation, protective coatings or paints, concrete dust or general containment housekeeping materials, may be transported to the containment sump during the recirculation phase of emergency core cooling system (ECCS) and containment spray system (CSS) operations. Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-43, “Containment emergency sump performance” had been ...
