The coping time to start of core damage and hydrogen generation was also evaluated for Cr-coated Zr cladding using RELAP5-3D code [88 - 89].
The small LOCA scenarios for a generic Westinghouse PWR were simulated with eight subvariants depending on the ECCS and other systems [88];
the average gain in coping time is about
4 minutes for Cr-coated Zr cladding compared to uncoated Zr cladding and the average hydrogen production at the time of core damage with Cr-coated cladding was
36.9% of that with uncoated Zircaloy.
In comparison, the simulated average gain in coping time, for ten SBO scenarios for a generic Westinghouse PWR, is
7 minutes for Cr-coated (20 µm) Zr cladding compared to uncoated Zr cladding, and average total hydrogen generation production at the start of core damage with Cr-coated cladding was about
10% of that with uncoated Zircaloy [89].
про BWR опустим, там позорная 1 минута выигрышаIn summary, the simulations performed for DBAs (SBO, SBLOCA and LBLOCA) up to the time of start of core damage using various codes showed some benefit in terms of start of core damage and cladding oxidation.
The introduction of Cr-coated cladding results in only marginal increases of coping time, but Cr-coated cladding showed improved performance in the
reduction of hydrogen generation at the time of core damage.
