Resumo
This paper presents some numerical and experimental safety related activities developed at the Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) project by CNEN research institutes. Brief comments on the models and results are presented with emphasis to their relation to the safe design and operation of the reactor. Thermal-hydraulic analysis for Siphon Breaker of the Core Cooling System (CCS); pools hot water layer; core chimney of CCS and spent fuel transport cask are presented, showing results, advantages, difficulties and drawbacks for each analyzed case. All are very distinct cases, involving phenomena that range from two-phase flow and thermal-stratification to lead melting. Beside the one-dimensional thermal hydraulic system Code RELAP5, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is shown to play an important role in the analysis being performed as it can detail the flow and temperature fields of complex components and phenomena, which are extremely difficult to model analytically or experimentally. Two experimental circuits designed to test RMB fuel elements performance are also presented.
