Abstract

A code has been developed with proper models for the thermal-hydraulic simulation of research reactors, and the accident of loss of offsite power of CARR (the China Advanced Research Reactor) has been analyzed. It is found that the transient can be departed into four parts with two peaks, and at last terminated to a natural circulation state. Furthermore, in order to investigate the effect of the height of the in core structures during this accident, several structure changes have been proposed and analyzed. It is demonstrated that the increase of the vertical height of the in core structures not always do help to decreasing the peak temperatures and increasing the natural circulation flow in the transient.
