<strong>Regional</strong> <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Professional</strong> <strong>Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>Course</strong> (BPTC) on Nuclear Safety<br />

Regulations on Technical Standards for Nuclear Reactor Facilities, etc. prescribe<br />

technical standard as regards structure, <strong>in</strong>stallations, performance, operation and quality<br />

assurance of nuclear reactor and related facilities. In Article 30, Emergency Core Cool<strong>in</strong>g<br />

System, ECCS with sufficient capability shall be <strong>in</strong>stalled to meet each of the follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />

requirements follow<strong>in</strong>g loss of residual heat removal capability or loss of reactor coolant<br />

accidents, and such system shall meet the requirements determ<strong>in</strong>ed and publicly notified<br />

by the M<strong>in</strong>ster of Science and Technology: (1) Cladd<strong>in</strong>g temperature shall not exceed an<br />

acceptable design value (2) Oxidation and hydrogen generation <strong>in</strong> cladd<strong>in</strong>g shall be<br />

limited to and allowable level (3) Deformation of fuel and <strong>in</strong>ternal structures shall not<br />

significantly reduce the effective core cool<strong>in</strong>g (4) Core cool<strong>in</strong>g shall be ensured for a<br />

sufficient time. And it shall have the design feature of redundancy, leak detection,<br />

isolation, and conta<strong>in</strong>ment capabilities to perform the safety function with sufficient<br />

reliability under the assumption of loss of offsite or onsite power (s<strong>in</strong>gle failure). ECCS<br />

acceptance criteria are based on meet<strong>in</strong>g the relevant requirements of the follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />

regulations: Article 13, External Event Design Bases, Article 15, Environmental Effects<br />

Design Bases, Article 16, Shar<strong>in</strong>g of Structures, Systems, and Components, Article 24,<br />

Electric Power System, Article 25, Control Room, Article 28, Reactivity Control System,<br />

Article 37, Overpressure Protection, and Article 41, Testability, Monitorability,<br />

Inspectability, and Ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ablity.<br />

As provided <strong>in</strong> Article 30 of Regulations on Technical Standards for Nuclear Reactor<br />

Facilities, MEST (Regulatory authority) Notice No. 2008‐16 requires that ECCS must be<br />

designed so that its calculated cool<strong>in</strong>g performance follow<strong>in</strong>g postulated LOCAs<br />

conforms to the criteria set forth <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>gs [4]: (1) The calculated maximum fuel<br />

element cladd<strong>in</strong>g temperature shall not exceed 1204ºC (2) The calculated total oxidation<br />

of the cladd<strong>in</strong>g shall nowhere exceed 0.17 times the total cladd<strong>in</strong>g thickness before<br />

oxidation (3) The calculated total amount of hydrogen generated from the chemical<br />

reaction of the cladd<strong>in</strong>g with water or steam shall not exceed 0.01 times the hypothetical<br />
