ROSA/LSTF experiment on a PWR station blackout transient with accident management measures and RELAP5 analyses
An experiment on a PWR station blackout transient with the TMLB' scenario and accident management (AM) measures was conducted using the rig of safety assessment/large scale test facility (ROSA/LSTF) at Japan Atomic Energy Agency under an assumption of non-condensable gas inflow to the prima...

An experiment on a PWR station blackout transient with the TMLB' scenario and accident management (AM) measures was conducted using the rig of safety assessment/large scale test facility (ROSA/LSTF) at Japan Atomic Energy Agency under an assumption of non-condensable gas inflow to the primary system from accumulator (ACC) tanks. The TMLB' scenario involves prolonged complete loss of alternating current power and unavailability of turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater as well as malfunction of relief valves in primary system and steam generator (SG) secondary-side system.
