Shall utilize existing laboratory facilities and trained personnel to provide a continuing effort toward the resolution of the fundamental issues of "Thennal Explosions" and "Recriticality".
TASK I.1 Core Disruptive Sequences
.~
The contractor shall examine the core disruption sequences identified in NUREG/CR-0224 and shall provide additional justification and/or reassesstent with special emphasis on alternate reactor concepts and fuel cycles.
Shall tie this effort to the staff's in-house initiating phase calculations and be responsive to the needs of the ongoing NASAP work, i.e., provide information for early licensability assessments.
Shall provide input to the planning of Regulatory Research needs, and follow closely the Sli41ER Code "develoonent" and " verification" plans.
Continue'small laboratory scoping experiments as means of exploring accident progression concepts on one hand and SIMMER capabilities and needs on the other.
TASK I.2 Mechanical Energy Release i
s The centractor shall assess licensability and risk implications for various reactor concepts (fuels) using the most up-to-date understanding of the probability and consequences of vapor explosions.
Continue work in establishing the key phenomena' in the vapor explosion mechanism such that various fuels and coolants as well as contact scenarios may be assessed in a fundamentally sound manner.
The end objective will be to incorporate the improved understanding in the NRC-FCI parametric code for the purpose of removing arbitrariness and thus carry out more meaningful calculations.
TASK II.
Thermal-Hydraulics of HTGR Accidents The contractor shall examine the " hot streak" problem in HTGRs and in Fort St. Vrain in particular, and shall assess the more general need of HIGR licensability in the context of NASAP.
TASK II.1 tiajor liTGR Accident Sequences The contractor shall assess major accident sequences for HTGRs, and in particular, examine the adequacy of understanding the thennal-hydraulic Processes that play a key role in the overall risk assessment (NASAP) frc.
such accidents.
