NEUP CINR-19-17037: Investigation of HTGR Reactor Building Response to a Break in Primary Coolant Boundary

It is proposed to perform series of experiments to simulate HTGR reactor buiding response due to a break in primary coolant boundary in a well-scaled test facility to obtain spatial distribution of oxygen concentration, and perform analysis of the whole system response with 1-D thermal hydraulics codes and use CFD to make detailed localized predictions. Tests will be carried out with different locations and sizes of the breaks and for various vent and flow paths in the reactor cavity.
