摘要

This paper describes a test program supporting the introduction of passive autocatalytic recombiner (PAR) technology as an alternative to electric recombiners for controlling combustible gases produced in postulated accidents in both future Advanced Light Water Reactors (ALWRs) and operating nuclear plants. PARs catalyti-cally recombine hydrogen and oxygen, gradually producing heat and water vapor. They have no moving parts and are self-starting and self-feeding, even under relatively cold and wet containment conditions. Buoyancy of the hot gases they create sets up natural convective flow that promotes mixing of combustible gases in a containment. In non-inerted PWR or BWR containments, PARs alone can control radiolytic hydrogen produced in design basis accidents (DBAs). For certain operating and future PWRs in the US, PARs could be used in combination with igniters to control combustible gases produced by metal-water reaction in severe accidents. In pre-inerted BWRs, PARs can control oxygen buildup during DBAs (inerting itself controls severe accident combustible gases). Tests were performed on small-size models of two PAR designs. The effects of the following parameters on PAR recombination capacity were evaluated: initial hydrogen concentration, initial ambient gas temperature and pressure, steam and nitrogen as inertants, low oxygen as in a BWR, and potential poisons such as carbon monoxide and cable burn products. In addition, the effects of wetness and low ambient temperature on PAR startup delay time were studied. Data from this test program supplement the existing PAR test database with performance data under conditions of interest to US plants. Results support the general conclusion that PARs show great promise for being a cost-effective means for controlling combustible gases in ALWRs and operating plants worldwide.
