Conclusions 1/2
Normal Decay Heat Removal Function is performed by forced/natural convection through the Primary Heat Exchanger cooled by the secondary system water/steam in natural circulation and by the tertiary system air in forced circulation (the normal path to evacuate the reactor power)
Emergency Decay Heat Removal Function is performed by: Natural convection through the Primary Heat Exchanger cooled
by the secondary system water/steam in natural circulation and by the tertiary system air in natural circulation (DHR number 1)
Reactor Vessel Air Cooling systems by irradiation from the Reactor Vessel wall to the Safety Vessel wall and to the wall of dedicate pipes and by air in natural convection inside the pipes (DHR number 2)
31EUROTRANS: WP1.5 Technical meeting, Karlsruhe, November 27 – 28, 2008
Conclusions 2/2
No actuation is required to start to operate both DHR systems DHR Systems are already in operation during normal operating
conditions DHR number 1 needs:
after the reactor trip an automatic shutdown of the tertiary system fan and the automatic isolation of a portion of the air cooler to prevent LBE freezing
In the medium term an operator action (not required within the first 30 minutes from the accident) to reduce the system capability to prevent LBE freezing
DHR number 2 needs: an operator action, within the first 12 hours from the accident,
to restart at least one primary pump to avoid exceeding the temperature limit on the Reactor Vessel wall
