[2G05] Effect of hydrogen inflow on natural circulation flow of passive core cooling system
Keywords:Natural circulation flow, Isolation condenser, hydrogen effects
Passive core cooling systems are important safety facility for station blackout of nuclear power plants. In this study, experiments were conducted with natural circulation loop simulating isolation condenser, where helium was injected to evaluate hydrogen effects and startup pressure, natural circulation flow rates, and pressure drops were measured.
