Results from the 1/5-scale Mark I BWR pressure suppression experiment

Description: A series of consistent, versatile, and accurate air-water tests simulating LOCA conditions has been completed on the /sup 1///sub 5/-scale Mark I BWR Pressure Suppression Experimental Facility. Detailed histories of vertical loads on the wetwell are obtained in a carefully scaled three-dimensional system. In particular, variation of hydrodynamic-generated vertical loads with changes in drywell pressurization rate, downcomer submergence, and the vent-line loss coefficient were established. An in… more

Vent clearing during a simulated loss-of-coolant accident in Mark I boiling-water-reactor pressure-suppression system

Description: The response of the pressure-suspension containment system of Mark I boiling-water reactors to a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) is being studied. This response is a design basis for light-water nuclear reactors. Part of the study is being carried out on a /sup 1///sub 5/-scale experimental facility that models the pressure-suppression containment system of the Peach Bottom 2 nuclear power plant. The test series reported here focused on the initial or air-clearing phase of a hypothetical LOCA. … more
