          Abstract

          Homogeneous boron dilution scenarios in a VVER-440 reactor were analyzed using the coupled KIKO3D-ATHLET code. The scenarios are named “homogeneous” because of the very slow dilution caused by a rupture in the heat exchanger of the makeup system. In the case of the presented Beyond Design Basis Accident (BDBA) scenarios, it was supposed that after 30 min the operator doesn't stop the dilution, violating the prescriptions of the Limits and Conditions document. Without the presented analyses, a significant contribution of the homogeneous boron dilution to the Core Damage Frequency (CDF) had to be assumed in the Probabilistic Safety Analyses (PSA). According to the combined results of the presented deterministic and probabilistic analyses, the final conclusion is that boron dilution transients don't give significant contribution to the CDF for the investigated VVER-440 NPP.

          Kurzfassung

          In probabilistischen Sicherheitsanalysen für WWER-440 Reaktoren werden für auslegungsüberschreitende Störfallszenarien, wie z. B. Lecks im Wärmetausche des Makeupsystems, Einflüsse der homogenen Borverdünnung auf die Kernschadenshäufigkeit berücksichtigt, sofern keine deterministischen Untersuchungen vorliegen. Mit den in diesem Beitrag vorgestellten deterministischen und probabilistischen Berechnungen dieser Szenarien, u. a. mit dem gekoppelten Programmsystem KIKO3D-ATHLET, konnte gezeigt werden, dass diese Störfalltransienten keinen signifikanten Beitrag zur Kernschadenshäufigkeit in der hier untersuchten Anlage liefern.
