Cycle-Specific Steam-Line-Break Analysis

Course Number: TRF-TH0003-G

Objectives:

Provide a detailed knowledge on the steam-line-break event and its analysis. The trainee will profit from the thermal-hydraulic experience of Framatome engineers and from their concrete and applied examples related with world-wide safety authorities requirements and reactor fuel thermal-hydraulic design for different reactor types (Siemens, Westinghouse, EPR).

 

Content:

The training consists of the following topics:

  • Steam-Line-Break -scenarios and accidental procedure

  • Generic analysis for a 1300 MW reactor

  • Safety criteria

  • Usage of PANBOX (including the sub-channel code COBRA-FLX)

  • Cycle-specific Steam-Line-Break -analyses

  • Possible solutions by non-convergence of the calculation

  • Modeling of low Gadolinium (Gd) fuel rods

COBRA-FLX is a trademark or registered trademark of Framatome or its affiliates, in the USA or other countries.

The contents, the format (see hereafter), and the duration are adapted according to the customer request and needs.

The course materials are based on the most up-to-date world-wide Framatome know-how to provide to our attendees the highest quality on the technical content of our courses.
