    Radiation shielding for a nuclear fusion device with inertial electrostatic confinement
    2022 - LEE, S.M.; YORIYAZ, H.; CABRAL, E.L.L.
    In an inertial electrostatic confinement nuclear fusion device, IECF, thermal neutron population is created near the neutron shielding that is proportional to the fast neutrons generation rate; nevertheless, this proportionality varies with the experimental arrangement. Thus, to properly measure the fast neutron generation rate by the IECF device it is necessary to previously elaborate a suitable neutron transport model between the IECF device and the radiation shield, where the neutron detector will be located. This model is elaborated using the Monte Carlo N-Particle Code and the same is used to design the required radiation shield for the safe operation of the device.

    Consequence analysis of a Station Blackout in Brazilian nuclear power plant Angra 2
    2022 - AGUIAR, A.S.; LEE, S.M.; SABUNDJIAN, G.
    The article consists, through a Severe Accident, evaluating the impact of radionuclides released into the atmosphere in the vicinity at Nuclear Power Plant. The source term used in present work is obtained by means of proportionality between Angra 1 and Angra 2. That is, the source term of Angra 2 is calculated based on its activity estimated from numbers of fuel pellets of both power plants and the already known activity of Angra 1. This calculation resulted in total activity of Angra 2 equivalent to 146.18% of activity of Angra 1. The results indicate that for severe accident scenarios, the protective measures to be adopted will be general emergency; and the impact area, which currently has a distance of 5 km, would become greater than this value.

    Simulation of a severe accident at a typical PWR due to break of a hot leg ECCS injection line using MELCOR code
    2019 - LEE, S.M.; LAPA, N.S.; SABUNDJIAN, G.
    The aim of this work was to simulate a severe accident at a typical PWR, initiated with a break in Emergency Core Cooling System line of a hot leg, using the MELCOR code. The model of this typical PWR was elaborated by the Global Research for Safety and provided to the CNEN for independent analysis of the severe accidents at Angra 2, which is similar to this typical PWR. Although both of them are not identical, the results obtained of that typical PWR may be valuable because of the lack of officially published simulation of severe accident at Angra 2. Relevant parameters such as pressure, temperature and water level in various control volumes, after the break at the hot leg, were calculated as well as degree of core degradation and hydrogen production within the containment. The result obtained in this work could be considered satisfactory in the sense that the physical phenomena reproduced by the simulation were in general very reasonable, and most of the events occurred within acceptable time intervals. However, the uncertainty analysis was not carried out in this work. Furthermore, this scenario could be used as a base for the study of the effectiveness of some preventive or/and mitigating measures of Severe Accident Management by implementing each measure in this model.
