Abstract EN
The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor pebble-bed module (HTR-PM) nuclear power plant consists of two nuclear steam supply system modules, each of which drives the steam turbine by the superheated steam flow and is fed by the heated-up water flow.
The shared steam/water system induces mutual effects on normal operation conditions and transients of the nuclear power plant, which is worthy of safety concerns and intensive study.
In this paper, a coupling code package was developed with the TINTE and vPower codes to understand how the HTR-PM operated.
The TINTE code was used to analyze the reactor core and primary circuit, while the vPower code simulated the steam/water flow in the conventional island.
Two TINTE models were built and coupled to one vPower model through the data exchange in the steam generator models.
Using this code package, two typical transients were simulated by decreasing the primary flow rate or introducing the negative reactivity of one module.
Important parameters, including the reactor power, the fuel temperature, and the reactor inlet and outlet helium temperatures of two modules, had been studied.
The calculation results preliminarily proved that this code package can be further used to evaluate working performance of the HTR-PM.
