Dynamics of a Nuclear Power Plant. Behaviour of PWR Plants During Malfunctions and Accidents

摘要

Analyses of malfunctions and accidents or transients which is the comprehensive term for all events without loss of coolant must be carried through because they form one of the essential bases for design of the total plant. Only by knowledge of both mechanical and thermal loads resulting from the transient's analyses the single component or systems of the plant can be appropriately laid out. This interrelation between the results of transients analysis and system design will be demonstrated by means of some typical examples of transients. The transients will be discussed in detail by exposition of the sequence of events and explaining the major physical phenomena. Due to the fact that these analyses play an important role in the licensing procedures the lecture will also enter the particulars of how far official rules and regulations determine the scope of transient analyses.
