Additional Information

One of the innovative nuclear reactor types is integral reactor which contains nuclear steam supply systems within the reactor vessel. IAEA ICSP on "Integral PWR Design Natural Circulation Flow Stability and Thermo-hydraulic Coupling of Primary System and Containment during Accidents" has been prepared as a follow-on to the CRP on "Natural Circulation Phenomena, Modelling and Reliability of Passive Systems that Use Natural Circulation". Oregon State University (OSU) has offered their MASLWR experimental facility for this ICSP.

Scope of the ICSP

The scope includes two types of experiments:

  • Single and two phase natural circulation flow stability test with stepwise reduction of primary inventory, and
  • Loss of feedwater transient with subsequent ADS blowdown and long term cooling by primary-containment coupling

Participating organizations will perform double blind, blind and open simulation for experiments with their own computer codes.

Participants

The following 18 institutions are participating in this ICSP:

Oregon State Univ. (USA), USNRC (USA), Univ. of Pisa (Italy), Serco (UK), KINS (Rep. of Korea), KAERI (Rep. of Korea), CIAE (China), Shanghai Jiao Tong Univ. (China), BARC (India), Univ. of Palermo (Italy), Gidropress (Russia), AERB (India), Tsinghua Univ. (China), NuScale (USA), IBRAE (Russia), NPCIL (India), IPPE (Russia), ENEA (Italy)

The First Workshop of the ICSP was held on 16-19 March, 2010, at Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA.
