Sim, Y.S.; Wi, M.H.; Kim, Y.S.; Kim, Y.C.; Cho, M. (Korea Atomic Energy Research Inst., Taejeon (Korea, Republic of))Abstract
KALIMER the first LMR in Korea is being developed in KAERI and the features related to configuring the elevation of the intermediate system for KALIMER are investigated. The relationship between elevation and natural circulation was analyzed for decay heat removal capability assurance. The capacities of the dedicated decay heat removal systems in KALIMER, PCVCS and SGBCS are evaluated. Based on the investigation, the idea on the role of each decay heat removal system of KALIMER is set up and discussion on mitigation of a sodium accident was made with regard to the intermediate system elevation configuration.
