(2017-07-18)In the event that a nuclear core cooling pipe ruptures, a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenario begins. Precipitates from dissolved ions can form and cause the emergency backup pumps to fail. Two aluminum products, an ...

(2016-12-08)This thesis examines five chemical solutions that are considered to be representative of the solution created in the containment sump during a postulated LOCA (loss of coolant accident) at a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) ...
-
(2017-05-10)During the initial stage of a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), known as the blowdown phase, the high-temperature and pressure break flow can impinge on thermal insulation and generate a substantial amount of debris in ...
-
(2014-12-15)This thesis work involves the use of the RELAP5-3D thermal hydraulic code to model flow for a typical pressurized water reactor (PWR). A model using several three-dimensional components was created to accurately predict ...
