CONT

The MH-1A [Mobile High Power Plant Number 1A] control rod ejection accident can result in core damage when postulated to occur during ten rod bank operation, a rod programming scheme presently utilized at the beginning of core life to lessen the magnitude of the axial power peak. Analyses have been performed to determine if, and under what conditions, core damage from this accident can be prevented by operating the MH-1A in a twelve rod bank configuration at the beginning (and throughout) core life.

L'accident d’éjection de grappe de commande étudié dans les rapports de sûreté enveloppe ce scénario puisqu'il couvre le même accident de réactivité, mais ne tient pas compte de l'effet de la brèche(100 mm de diamètre) qui a, pour cet accident, un effet favorable. Un tel accident doit pourtant rester exceptionnel.

CONT

A second cooling function is provided for safety reasons, to deal with the possibility of a loss of primary coolant circuit function during operation of the reactor. A breach in the primary coolant circuit, for example, could allow the core to overheat, resulting in damage to the nuclear fuel. A pressurizer arrangement injects additional coolant into the circuit to maintain operational pressure and to replace coolant that may be lost through a minor breach or leak in the coolant circuit.

Petite brèche. L'accident de perte de réfrigérant primaire par petite brèche est supposé être initié :-soit par la rupture partielle d’une grosse tuyauterie primaire;-soit par la rupture d’une petite tuyauterie branchée au circuit primaire;-soit par une soupape de sûreté restée coincée ouverte après fonctionnement(cas de l'accident de Three Mile Island).
