Title:
EVALUATION of THERMODYNAMICS AND FISSION PRODUCT RELEASES FOLLOWING A DESIGN BASIS ACCIDENT FOR NON-POWER REACTORS FIN NO.: A-7261 B&R No.: 20-19-01-08 Technical Monitor: Harold Bernard (FTS 492-8357) Cognizant NRR Manager: James R. Miller (FTS 492-7014) BACKGROUND The general types of research reactors are AGN's, Argonaut's, TRIGAs, pool and tank type. Pool and tank types also are test reactors. Similarities within types make them conducive to generic safety analyses with concommitant savings in time and resources. For example, other than TRIGA and AGN research reactors. Most of the remaining research reactors
- utilize MTR-type fuels. Eleven MTR-type and eight TRIGAs have applied for license rer.?wals.
The scenarios for a Design Basis Accident (DBA) for the different reactor concepts include a series of events for which there is insufficient information available upon which to derive safety evaluations. Much of the required information is available from other sources but must be remoulded into a form that is useful for research reactor safety considerations. OBJECTIVE The objective of this project is to determine the thermodynamic results and fission product transport from the core into the environment of design basis events for use in evaluating SARs of research and test reactors. WORK REQUIREMENTS With a loss of coolant and components of the core fuel assemblies in both the vertical and horizontal directions so only 10-30% of the air channel is available for critical fuel cooling, determine the temperature, chemical history, physical and chemical aspects of the fuel, and fission product fate and transport to the exterior of the containment or confinement structures. As part of this analysis, it will be required that the contractor visit types of research and test reactors to obtain similarities of characteristics. The specific tasks to be performed are as follows: l l
\\ ' l Task 1. Uevelop DBA scenarios for different types of research reactors. Task 2. Update various thermodynamic models pertaining to melting and fission product releases. Determine contrasts between two dimensional and three dimensional analyses for types of reactors and power levels. Task 3. Assess limitations on operation to preclude nelting of clad or fuel for 100 kW operation 500 kW operation 1,000 kW operation 2,000 kW operation Task 4. Determine seismic impacts for acceleration loads and vertical crushing due to structure collapse for those reactors subject to potentially catastrophic seismic conditions. Task 5. Following approval of scenarios, determine impact of fires on core damage, safety systems and fission product release. Task 6. Develop criteria for fission product transport and exposure for different research and test reactor fuel types. . In-core plate out . In-core solution . Reactor room plate,out . Cuntainment Confinement fission product removal systems . Others Task 7. Determine exposures and concentrations within confinement / containment structures for iodines, noble gases, and any other critical fission products for distance from the core of: 50 ft 100 ft 200 ft LEVEL 0F EFFORT AND PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
- The level of effort is estimated to be 2-1/2 staff years over a 27 month period.

FY 81 FY 82 FY 83 1/2* 1 1 Expertise needed Relative Time Required Thormodynamics 1/3 Physical Chemist 1/3 Fire Analyst 1/3 REPORT 1NG REQUIREMENTS Reporting requirements for the respective tasks are as follows: Task 1. Following development and approval of the DBA's for the different types of research and test reactors, submit a report containing the results. Task 2. Following analyses of melting and fission product release and transport from Argonaut, TRIGAs, Pool and Tank type reactors, a report shall be submitted. Task 3. As part of the reporting requirements under Task 2, include the threshold operating limitations within which fuel elements or cladding melting ca'inot occur. Task 4. Following analyses of those reactors that are or may be subject to seismic induced accidents, report on temperature profiles of fuels and cladding that are crushed horizontally and vertically. A report shall be prepared for each reactor type. Task 5. A report shall be prepared for impact of fires on core damage for each reactor type. Task 6. Following completion of all the subelements in this task, prepare a report for MTR fuels and TRIGA fuels for fission product equi-librium conditions and for a family of reactor utilization factors suggested by Task 3. Task 7. As part of the report associated with Task 6, provide a report on exposures to persons in and immediately outside of confinement / containment structures.
- Prorated on basis of fiscal year remaining.
