Analysis Results according to In-Vessel Injection Timing with Flow Rate of 50 kg/sec. are examined. For B01 to B12 cases, ten sensitivity analyses are conducted by changing EPSCUT from 0.00 to 0.25 with a step of 0.05, keeping TLCMAX parameter at the default value of 2,500 K. Additionally, TCLMAX has been varied from 2,200 K to 2,700 K, keeping the | | Fig. 12. Total Debris Mass Accumulated in Lower Plenum as a Function of Timing for Different In -Vessel Injection Flow Rates. EPSCUT parameter at the default value of 0.1. The sensitivity of the debris mass accumulated in the RPV lower plenum to these parameters is shown in Figure 13. The accumulated mass generally increases as the invessel injection timing is delayed, however, the spread can be significant for different EPSCUT and TCLMAX values. Unlike the base cases, the sensitivity study predicts the first relocation to the lower plenum for B06, B07, and B08. In accordance with the base case, B01 to B05, exhibit no relocation to the lower plenum irrespective of the values of EPSCUT and TCLMAX. No specific tendency can be derived but the results show the phenomenological uncertainty. Therefore, considering those uncertainties, it is necessary to initiate the in-vessel external injection within 7.5 hours (5.0 hours after entry of a severe accident) to maintain the RPV integrity without the first relocation to the lower plenum. The success region for the external injection flow rate and timing is shown in Figure 14. It is given that the POSRVs are opened within 30 minutes after the entry to SAM. The first relocation to the RPV lower plenum is not occurred if injection is initiated within 5.0 hours after the entry to SAM at flow rates ranging from 10 to 50 kg/sec. The phenomenological uncertainties considered indicate that 1.5 hours of uncertainty regions of the core relocation. The mass fraction of metallic layer in the RPV lower plenum is shown in Figure 15. It ranges from 14 % to 22 % in general. Changing the sensitivity parameters changes the time of the first relocation to the RPV lower plenum. Figure 16 shows the results of Figure 13 as a rearrangement based on the time of first relocation. As a result, the in-vessel injections before the first relocation time show the total debris in lower plenum from 28 to 80 tons. The in-vessel injections after the first relocation time show 51 to 114 tons.

The selected scenario is SBO with RCS depressurization followed by in-vessel external injection. The impacts of injection timing and flow rate as well as the uncertainties associated with the core melting and relocation process have been examined. The main conclusions that could be drawn from this work are summarized as follows: • In order to implement the in-vessel phase of SAM strategy, it is recommended to open the POSRVs within 30 minutes after the entry of a severe accident. • If the external injection with the flow rate of more than 10 kg/sec into the vessel performed within 5.0 hours after the entry of a severe accident, the molten mass is retained in the core. The first relocation to the RPV lower plenum is not occurred. • When the reactor vessel integrity is maintained through the derived SAM strategy, the maximum amount of melt accumulated in the RPV lower plenum is about 114 tons. The derived SAM strategy and the information on core melting and relocation may be used as the initial conditions for the next phase of SAM evaluation such as ERVC and the ex-vessel phase in the future.
