Abstract

The analytical models and algorithm of the SPIKE code, which has been developed by KAERI's KALIMER team to investigate the sodium-water reaction phenomena in the liquid metal reactor, were introduced with its verification calculation results. The sodium water reaction of KALIMER IHTS was evaluated. Early stage of the sodium-water reaction consists of wave and mass transfer regimes. The pressure variations were independent of specific design features in the wave transfer regime. However in the mass transfer regime, the pressure variations were strongly dependent on cover gas volume and rupture disk set pressure. The early stage SWR analysis showed that the KALIMER IHTS with an appropriate cover gas volume and rupture disk set pressure had enough margin to its design pressure.

액체금속로의 소듐-물 반응사고에 따른 압력거동 분석을 위하여 한국원자력연구소 KALIMER 개발팀이 개발한 SPIKE코드의 해석 모형 및 알고리즘을 소개하였으며 검증 계산 결과를 제시하였다. KALIMER IHTS의 소듐-물 반응사고로 인한 계통내 압력 거동을 분석하였다. 소듐-물 반응사고의 초기는 압력파 전달과 질량 전달 영역으로 구성됨을 확인하였다. 압력파 전달 영역에서의 압력 거동은 계통의 설계 특성과 무관하나 질량 전달 영역에서는 Cover gas 체적과 파열판 파열 압력에 크게 의존함을 확인하였다. KALIMER IHTS의 초기 소듐-물반응사고 해석 결과는 적절한 Cover gas체적과 파열판 압력 설정을 통해 압력 진동이 설계 압력 범위로 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
