The PSB-VVER project has provided the experimental data needed to allow full validation of the computer codes used in the thermal-hydraulic analysis of VVER-1000 reactors. Currently there are 19 VVER-1000 reactors in operation and several more under construction, mostly in central and eastern Europe. These Russian-designed reactors have design characteristics that are similar to western-designed pressurised water reactors (PWRs). There are however important design differences which necessitate specific experimental facilities and data to ensure that the computer codes are validated and that the results of the thermal-hydraulic analyses are of acceptable quality for this type of reactor. To this end, experiments were carried out in a large-scale, thermal-hydraulics facility located at the Electrogorsk Research and Engineering Centre in Russia.
Earlier NEA work established a "code validation matrix" for both LWRs and VVERs. This matrix is essentially a set of phenomena and experimental data that is used to validate thermal-hydraulic computer codes. This led to the general conclusion that the VVER-1000 matrix was not complete. Consequently, it was decided to develop an OECD project to obtain the required experimental data not covered by the matrix.
The project's objective was to provide the unique experimental data needed for the validation of thermal-hydraulic codes and to support refinements to the safety assessment tools for VVER-1000 reactors. The PSB-VVER experiments constitute a relevant extension of the existing code validation database. The data are of primary relevance to the VVER-1000 system, but they are also of interest to other types of pressurised water reactors.
The scope of the project work consisted of five PSB-VVER experiments in the following areas:
scaling effects;
natural circulation;
small cold leg break loss-of-coolant accidents;
primary to secondary leak;
100% double-ended cold leg break.
Extensive pre- and post-test analyses accompanied the experimental programme throughout the entire experimental series.
