Abstract [en]

Severe accident management (SAM) in Nordic Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) employs ex-vessel core debris coolability. Core melt is poured into a deep pool of water and is expected to fragment, quench, and form a coolable debris bed. Success of the strategy is contingent upon the melt release mode from the vessel, which determine conditions for (i) the debris bed coolability, (ii) steam explosion that present credible threats to containment integrity. The characteristics of melt release are determined by the in-vessel accident scenarios and phenomena subject to aleatory and epistemic uncertainties respectively. A consistent treatment of these uncertainties requires Integrated Deterministic Probabilistic Safety Analysis (IDPSA). We employ the concepts and approaches described in Risk Oriented Accident Analysis Methodology (ROAAM) for development of a probabilistic framework (ROAAM+) that is based on extensive uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in risk quantification. Direct application of such fine-resolution models for extensive sensitivity and uncertainty analysis is often unaffordable. We use “surrogate models” (SMs) that provide computationally efficient approximations for the FMs. In this work we demonstrate an approach to the development of Core relocation SM based on the MELCOR code as the full model (FM). We discuss the development of the database of the FM solutions, data mining and post-processing of the results for SM development. Extensive sensitivity and uncertainty analysis is carried out using the FM and implications of the analysis are discussed in detail. We demonstrate how the connection between different stages of severe accident progression is made in ROAAM+ framework for Nordic BWRs.
