Abstract

The secondary passive residual heat removal system, which is one of several passive safety systems, is designed to enhance the safety of the reactor core. Experiments on transient and steady state natural circulation performance of the secondary passive residual heat removal system had been performed by using the high temperature, high pressure, and thermal–hydraulic test facility (natural circulation test loop of FITY, CGN). The experiment results showed that the residual heat can be removed successfully from the steam generator to atmosphere by steady state and transient natural circulation in test facility, and the heat transfer capability gets stronger with the increase of loop pressure. The result also shows natural circulation can be set up with good stability.
