The large-break loss of coolant accident(LBLOCA) is a design basis accident(DBA) in CANDU [Canadian deuterium uranium] reactors that is postulated to occur as a result of an instantaneous failure of a large diameter pipe in the heat transport system. Due to the positive coolant void reactivity characteristic of CANDU reactors, LBLOCA is characterized by a power excursion... LBLOCA involves simultaneous degradation of cooling capability and fast positive reactivity insertion, due to rapid core voiding. 6, record 1, English, - large%2Dbreak%20loss%2Dof%2Dcoolant%20accident

APRP de type grosse brèche. Ce type de transitoire est rapide, il dure de l'ordre de 200 s [secondes]; il conduit à une brusque chute de la pression du fluide dans le circuit primaire et à un dénoyage total du cœur. Du point de vue thermohydraulique, le scénario de cet accident peut être décomposé en trois phases, à savoir la dépressurisation et la vidange totale, le remplissage du fond de cuve et le renoyage du cœur. Dès l'ouverture de la brèche, supposée quasi instantanée, le circuit primaire se vide rapidement dans l'enceinte de confinement, ce qui entraîne l'arrêt automatique du réacteur (AAR) puis le démarrage du système RIS [système d'injection de sécurité] du fait de l'atteinte d'un seuil de très basse pression dans le pressuriseur. 3, record 1, French, - accident%20de%20perte%20majeure%20de%20r%C3%A9frig%C3%A9rant%20primaire
