1 Main Insights and Perspectives of Pool scrubbing Research: Examples of THAI and NUGENIA/IPRESCA Sanjeev GmbH, Germany February 28 th, 2017
2 Pool scrubbing - Introduction Definition Absorption of radioactive particles and vapours in water pools when carried through by gases Decontamination Factor (DF) DF m m Meaningful limit DF 1 out DF not suitable concept for re-entrainment in Relevance - Source-term mitigation by fission product retention - Importance: water cooled reactor (e.g. BWR, PWR, CANDU), Gen. IV concepts of SMR - Improving SAM measures, e.g. time, capacity and duration for FCVS operation 2
3 Pool scrubbing Specific issues Relevant scenario or specific phenomena Selection of relevant scenario for pool scrubbing tests under severe accident conditions (e.g. suppression pool, MCCI, SGTR, FCVS) PIRT needed Experimental database Detailed models available in literature but sparse experimental data for systematic validation of pool scrubbing models/codes Sparse data on pool hydrodynamics (e.g. bubble dynamics, bubble gas circulation effect, water circulation flow ) Lack of information about the presence or concentration of surfactants/impurities in real plants under normal or accident conditions Sparse data involving realistic aerosols/ iodine (e.g. particle size, concentration, constituent) Experimental hardware Challenging conditions (e.g. pressure, temperature, steam) for aerosol generation hardware and measurement techniques Change of particle size between inlet and outlet is largely unknown; effect is suppressed in noncondensing tests with monodisperse aerosol 3
4 Pool scrubbing: experimental needs Calculated DF Example: SPARC- 98B Validation of aerosol DF calculation Calculation underestimates measured DF BUT model is not capable of predicting high DFs (relevant in FCVS) 81 experiments: 63 EPRI series 3 14 Poseidon 4 Ciemat Note: Log scale Range 1 to 7000 Measured DF 4
5 Pool scrubbing Further R&D needs Relevant parameters for pool scrubbing experiments Aerosol/vapours and carrier gas properties Injection geometry Water pool hydrodynamics (e.g. bubble dynamics) Chemical boundary conditions in water pool Results independence from test facility specific features should be confirmed Need for international co-operation; Generic pool scrubbing database for common use Benchmarking/assessment of pool scrubbing codes (models) Benchmarking of aerosol measurement techniques Perspectives (examples) THAI NUEGNIA/IPRESCA 5
6 THAI pool scrubbing relevant database THAI+ test facility Thermal-hydraulics, Hydrogen, Aerosols, and Iodine Experimental investigations to mimic generic two-room system in containments with different but coupled thermal-hydraulics P/T: 1.4 MPa / 180 C Stainless steel 22 mm walls Configurable sub-compartments Pressure resistant for H 2 -deflagrations Licensed for use of radiotracer I 123 6
7 THAI pool scrubbing relevant activities Aerosol hardware Development/adaption of aerosol generation devices and measurement techniques Experimental database Experiments on water pool hydrodynamics Iodine mass transfer from water pool Aerosol (soluble/insoluble) re-entrainment tests Aerosol DF measurement Aerosol test loop for development/qualification of aerosol generators/measurement techniques Acknowledgement: AREVA GmbH 7
8 THAI pool scrubbing relevant activities Aerosol generators and measurement techniques Well defined aerosol particle size spectrum (MMD: ~ 1 µm, GSD : 2) Different generation devices for the test aerosol (soluble/insoluble) Operational conditions: high pressure/temperature (10 bar, 200 C) and steam atmosphere Ag aerosol MMD: 1.2 µm GSD: 2 Aerosol generator for non-soluble powders ( e.g. SnO 2, Ag) 8
9 Aerosol re-entrainment THAI tests Aerosol re-entrainment Release of pre-accumulated aerosols in a water pool Weak but long lasting late phase source-term Released aerosol characteristics (e.g. particle size, concentration) relevant information for FCVS operation Relevant parameters for THAI tests Gas injection geometry: Blowdown pipe (DN 100) & Sinter metal pipe (pore size: 100 µm) System thermal-hydraulics (pressure, temperature) Aerosol types (soluble, insoluble) Flow regimes (bubbly churn turbulent ) Pool hydrodynamics (e.g. bubble dynamics) Potential parameters for future THAI tests Pool chemical boundary conditions (e.g. surfactants) Aerosol re-entrainment by depressurization induced boiling 9
10 Aerosol re-entrainment THAI tests THAI data application: development/validation of RUB re-entrainment model Source: RUB Bochum, pool scrubbing information exchange meeting, May 14th, 2014, Eschborn, Germany Current status: Model for soluble aerosols under bubbly flow regime implemented in GRS code COCOSYS Work in progress Extension of re-entrainmenment model to insoluble aerosols (RUB Bochum) Extension of re-entrainment model for soluble aerosols to churn turbulent flow regime (University of Luxembourg) 10

21 WP-2 (RT) & WP-3 (IPS) WP-2: Reference testing Inter-comparison of simplified pool scrubbing tests from different test facilities Identify facility-specific features which might have biasing impact upon measured DF WP-3: Innovation in pool scrubbing New experiments link to WP1 & WP2 Instrument benchmarking: inter-comparison of aerosol measuring devices and procedures BT- Aerosol Test Loop (BT-ATL) 21
22 WP-4 Model Enhancement and Simulation Evaluation of relevant models Quantification of modelling uncertainties, identification of potential weaknesses in test data and/or models Improvement, simplification or replacement of models if needed Code benchmarking to assess contribution of individual sub-models in calculating the decontamination factors Overall aim: MES activity should go beyond the application of complex pool scrubbing codes in a black-box fashion, but instead should clarify the contribution of individual sub-models in calculating the decontamination factors. 22
