Simulation Exercise of Nuclear Reactor Severe Accidnets
Place: Tsuruga Training Center, The Japan Atomic Power Company
Date: July. 22－26, 2013
This exercise is intended to become familiar with key facilities related to the safety of nuclear power plants and experience plant responses by a series of simulations, including transient, design-basis accident, and severe accident of Boiling Water Reactor. To start with, students sat in class to learn the key structures and safety equipment of a boiling water reactor, and to understand the analysis results of the accident progress behavior of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Using the severe accident analysis code, the students studied the analytical results of typical accident sequences.
After these lessons, each student used a computer to simulate and exercise the boiling water reactor transient, design-basis accident, and severe accident. The globally well-known MAAP code was used as the severe accident analysis code. A total of 5 days were spent on this exercise, from July 22 to 26 2013, at the Tsuruga Training Center of Japan Atomic Power Co. The simulation exercise this time was received extremely well among students.
