15 CONTAINMENT BUILDING Applied Regulations:
Containment Design relies on calculating the peak containment pressure during potential accidents. The containment must withstand the pressure and temperature of Design Basis Accident without exceeding the design leakage rate of 0.2% volume/day for the 24 hours and 1% volume/day thereafter. Steel linen is used inside to protect from any gas diffusion. Applied Regulations: 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria 52, 53 and 54 10 CFR 50, Appendix J 27-28 Mart 2008, NÜKLEER TEKNOLOJİDE DÜNYA KONJONKTÜRÜ: III. Ve III+ Nesil Nükleer Reaktörler Kongresi, İstanbul

16 CONTAINMENT BUILDING Sandia National Laboratories, USA conducted a test of slamming a jet fighter into a large concrete block at 775 km/h airplane left a 6.4 cm deep gouge in the concrete. Although the block was not constructed like a containment building missle shield, the results were considered indicative. In another work EPRI, Electric Power Research Institute, conducted a aircraft crash impact analysis. Analysis showed that no parts of the aircraft entered the containment buildings. The robust containment structure was not breached (Boeing , weights 203 tons with full fuel, the wing span is 51.5 m.)

17 ENGINNERING SAFETY FEATURES
Decay heat removal system after shutdown Residual heat removal system Emergency core cooling cystem Containment spray system Radiation control systems Systems to filter accumulated gas in the containment 27-28 Mart 2008, NÜKLEER TEKNOLOJİDE DÜNYA KONJONKTÜRÜ: III. Ve III+ Nesil Nükleer Reaktörler Kongresi, İstanbul

18 THE REACTIVITY CONTRIBUTIONS OF DEVICES AND PHYSICAL PHENOMENON
Relative deviation from the criticalitiy is called reactivity. 1. Shutdown Rods 2. Gray Rods 3. Dark Rods 4. Xenon 5. Fuel Temperature reactivity feedback 6. Moderator (Coolant) Temperature & boron reactivity feedback Note that reactivity is a computed parameter, and not a measured parameter. It is not directly available at an actual plant.
