This thesis presents the assessment of the Multi Application Small Light
Water Reactor (MASLWR) containment design during steady-state and transient
conditions. The MASLWR project is a joint effort between Idaho National
Environmental and Engineering Laboratory (INEEL), NEXANT Bechtel, and
Oregon State University. The project is funded under a Nuclear Energy Research
Initiative (NERI) grant from the Department of Energy (DOE).
The GOTHIC code was used to simulate the full scale prototype and the
Oregon State University MASLWR test facility. Detailed models of the full scale
prototype and OSU test facility were generated in GOTHIC. GOTHIC
condensation heat transfer models produced heat transfer coefficients that vary by
an order of magnitude. This had a significant impact on the pressurization rate and
peak pressure achieved within containment. A comparison of the GOTHIC
calculation results for the full scale prototype and the test facility model shows
reasonable agreement with respect to containment pressure trends and safety
system mass flow rates. === Graduation date: 2003 |
