Abstract EN
In the frame of Tacis Project R2.01/99, which was running from 2003 to 2005, the bubble condenser system of Kola NPP (unit 3) was qualified at the integral test facility BC V-213.
Three LB LOCA tests, two MSLB tests, and one SB LOCA test were performed.
The appropriate test scenarios for BC V-213 test facility, modeling accidents in the Kola NPP unit 3, were determined with pretest calculations.
Analysis of test results has shown that calculated initial conditions and test scenarios were properly reproduced in the tests.
The detailed posttest analysis of the tests performed at BC V-213 test facility was aimed to validate the COCOSYS code for the calculation of thermohydraulic processes in the hermetic compartments and bubble condenser.
After that the validated COCOSYS code was applied to NPP calculations for Kola NPP (unit 3).
Results of Tacis R2.01/99 Project confirmed the bubble condenser functionality during large and small break LOCAs and MSLB accidents.
Maximum loads were reached in the LB LOCA case.
No condensation oscillations were observed.
