摘要: An accident, thermal fluids, and reactor physics phenomena identification ranking process was conducted by a panel of experts on the next generation nuclear plant (NGNP) design (consideration given to both pebble-bed prismatic gas-cooled configurations). Safety-relevant phenomena, importance, knowledge base were assessed for following event classes: (1) normal operation (including some aspects), (2) general loss forced circulation (G-LOFC), (3) pressurized loss-of-forced (P-LOFC), (4) depressurized (D-LOFC), (5) air ingress (following D-LOFC), (6) reactivity transients - including anticipated without scram (ATWS), (7) processes coupled via intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) (IHX failure with molten salt), (8) steam/water ingress. The panel's judgment importance phenomenon (or process) based effect it had one or more figures merit evaluation criteria. These included public worker dose, fuel failure, primary (and other safety) system integrity. major concern that identified categorized as high combined medium low follow: core coolant bypass flows (normal operation), power/flux profiles outlet plenum reactivity-temperature feedback coefficients high-plutonium-content cores andmore » accidents), fission product release related transport silver (6)emissivity aspects vessel cavity cooling transfer (8)convection/radiation heating upper area (P-LOFC).« less
