Abstract

INTERACTION OF MOLTEN URANIUM WITH ELECTRICAL PENETRATING TUBE OF A BOILING WATER REACTOR DURING SEVERE ACCIDENT. Fukushima accident was the first severe accident of a BWR type which the core was melted leading to RPV failure at the bottom head. Regarding its complex structures of the bottom head, the scheme of failure is different from that of previous reactor severe accidents that ever happened (i.e. TMI-2 and Chernobyl accidents). There is a lot of penetration tubes through the bottom head leading to a complex interaction between corium and the structures. Eutectic reaction is possible to happen due to high temperature leading to a rapid failure of the RPV. Therefore, it is important to understand the phenomenon of interaction between corium and the structures. In this study, an interaction between molten uranium and structure of electrical tube, one of the penetration tubes, was analyzed by using MPS-LER method. Fluid dynamics of the MPS-LER simulation was validated by experiments of fluid flow by using water and oil.Calculation results of the fluid flow showed a good agreement with that of experiments.The MPS-LER was applied to calculate the penetration rate of molten uranium which flowed through the wall of the electrical tube at the bottom head of a BWR. The penetration rate was high due to eutectic reaction. The rate achieved 555.56 µm/s. Conservatively, it took less than 1 minute of time for the molten uranium to melt the tube wall with a thickness of 1.232 cm.

Abstract

The very complex structure of nuclear reactors is one aspect of the cause of severe accidents in nuclear reactors. To prevent serious accidents, analysis is needed on the reactor design before the reactor is built. Reactor accident analysis can be done using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit method. The Moving Particle Semi-Implicit method is excellent in simulating the movement of liquid fuel in a reactor because it can analyze the free surface flow of an incompressible liquid without using a mesh grid. Simulations were carried out using three types of fluids with different viscosities and densities such as water, oil, and wax. The simulation results show that the water takes the fastest time to drain all the particles and the oil takes the longest time. From the simulation results, it can be determined that the kinematic viscosity of a liquid affects its flow velocity.

Abstract

After Fukushima accident, molten relocation inside the reactor is still unclear due to difficulties of detecting internal condition. Eutectic reaction is one of the main mechanism of internal structure liquefaction. Moving particle semi- implicit (MPS) is suitable of analyzing localized phenomena such as eutectic reaction due to its capability on simulating surface with large deformation. In this work, the MPS code for eutectic reaction was developed for calculating melting rate and its relocation process. Based on the MPS model, the CAFÉ core melt experiment was analyzed. For melting penetration rate of molten uranium into stainless steel at 1200 C, two dimensional MPS simulation predicted agreeable result.

Abstract

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a material that has many uses in a wide variety of applications such as bone repair, bone implants, and bone drug delivery systems. However, the main weakness of this material is its mechanical strength, which HA is not enough to be directly applied. Gelatin addition is used to improve the mechanical properties that can support material properties for the load-bearing application. This research aimed to obtain gelatin/HA composites with high mechanical strength. This goal is achieved by finding the optimum composite composition (addition of 20, 30, and 40% w/w gelatin), CaO precursors from chicken eggshells, and gradual composite preparation. The preparation of gelatin/HA composites was carried out using the wet precipitation method. The chemical bonding, the compressive strength of HA and gelatin/HA composites, and also morphologies were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Universal Testing Machine, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) respectively. The FTIR spectra show there are chemical bonds between amide and carboxyl in gelatin and Ca2+ in HA. The best compressive strength obtained at the composition of 20% gelatin/HA composite is 99.3 MPa (meanwhile HA is 81.5 MPa). The addition of gelatin to HA increases the particle density; this contributes to the increase in mechanical strength.

Abstract

In reactor research, the safety of the reactor plays an important role. Besides the experiment research, computational simulation can also provide important information about the behavior of materials inside the reactor core. The Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method assists in providing information about the reactor material computationally. In this study, the stratification process of several materials, i.e. the melts of PbBi, PbLi, and Pb in combination with Al, have been investigated by simulation. The time to achieve stratified conditions for each material has been obtained where each paired material needs 0.5 seconds to reach the stratified condition. It is also obtained that the Pb-Al is the fastest in reaching the stratified condition among the other used materials.

Abstract

In this modern era, the need for energy is increasing, and the environmental issues caused by the energy industry are also increasing. Therefore, one of the long-term alternative energy sources is nuclear energy. However, as is well known, there have been many nuclear reactor accidents, such as the Chernobyl, Three Miles Island, and Fukushima reactors. In those cases, there was an accident in the core reactor, especially the melting of the reactor core. One phenomenon is the stratification of the molten metal component of the melted reactor core. Using simulation, this study will discuss the stratification behavior of two immiscible and incompressible fluids. The particle-based simulation method has advantages over the mesh method in simulating free surface conditions and has a lighter computational load. The particle method used in this simulation is the Finite Volume Particle (FVP) method, derived based on the finite volume method by assuming each particle occupies a certain volume. The simulation of the stratification behavior is carried out using three types of fluids, water, cooking oil, and lubricating oil, which are combined into three variations. The stratification simulation results will be compared with the experimental results obtained from the reference. From the simulation results obtained, there is a pattern similar to the experimental results. Simulation data is also processed to obtain the penetration ratio between fluids in each variation and the length of water penetration through cooking and lubricating oil. The results show that the magnitude of the difference in fluid density and viscosity affects the stratification process.

Abstract

The Ayam Téas I inscription is one of the ancient inscriptions in Indonesia. Currently, the condition of the inscription has undergone natural degradation, causing the letters and the written message to become more difficult to read. Among the natural forms of degradation are corrosion and erosion. One method that can be used to address this problem is by utilizing image processing technology in the form of imageJ software. The analysis process involves capturing images using a camera and then processing the images using imageJ software. This software provides a mode that can remove unnecessary colors due to lighting, allowing some of the writings on the Ayam Téas I inscription to become more visible.

Abstract

In addressing the problem of Ti steel (15-15Ti) proposed as the main candidate material for the manufacture of coatings and fuel wrappers for liquid LBE-cooled fast reactors at high temperatures related to material degradation, such as liquid metal embrittlement (LME) and liquid metal corrosion (LMC), Gong et al. conducted research related to the creep failure behavior of solution-annealed 15-15Ti steel exposed to LBE at temperatures of 550 and 600oC using a creep test facility. However, in this study, testing the mechanical properties of 15-15Ti steel through tensile testing was not really discussed, even though the mechanical properties of a material are one of the most important things in determining structural design. The mechanical properties obtained from previous research were then simulated using ABAQUS CAE software to determine the stress distribution profile (initial and final) and the mechanical stress-strain performance used to understand more about the 15–15Ti material. From the simulation results, it was found that the peak force received by the specimen for a strain rate of 1.1 x 10-5s-1 was 6.0 kN, while for a strain rate of 5 x 10-5s-1, it was 6.2 kN. This means that the specimen used cannot accept a force greater than the peak force value. A stress-strain difference graph was also obtained in the experimental results, with simulation results showing a decrease in the value of the fracture point. This is because the mesh setting in the simulation is not close to a more detailed value.

Abstract

System failure in nuclear reactors can cause degradation of a reactor core, allowing melting and relocation of the corium to the lower plenum in the nuclear reactor system. In this study, a severe accident simulation was carried out using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method. In this method, we model the relocation of molten corium on the reactor core (support plate) to the lower plenum for several conditions with variations: corium material, lower plenum conditions, temperature, viscosity, and density. Those treatments were carried out in order to be able to compare and analyze the characteristics of the corium melt by reviewing the velocity profiles. The formation of a corium pool and debris bed can result in significant temperature differences and high heat flux against the walls of the reactor vessel, causing a decrease in the integrity of the reactor vessel and reactor failure.Keywords: Corium, Uranium Dioxide (UO2), Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2), Fluid Relocation, Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS).

Abstract

A simulation model has been made for molten corium in a nuclear reactor using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method. By setting the value of dynamic viscosity and temperature of corium, simulations are carried out to display the pressure profile and flow velocity of the corium fluid that falls from the RPV to the plenum. In the first simulation to observe the pressure and velocity profile of the corium in the plenum, three conditions were made: the plenum was empty; the plenum was filled with corium fluid, and the plenum was filled with debris. The second simulation was carried out to determine the relationship between the time required for corium to reach the plenum for variations in corium viscosity and temperature values. The simulation results show that the increase in corium viscosity will be proportional to the length of time it takes to reach the plenum. In contrast to the effect of temperature where the increase in corium temperature will be the smaller the time required.
