1. Introduction ofAnsaldo Nucleare (ANN)
Ansaldo Nucleare has been created in 1989 as anindependent branch in the FINMECCANICA Group
In December 1999 Ansaldo Nucleare was incorporatedby Ansaldo Energia S.p.A, a company belonging 100%
to the FINMECCANICA Group, as a Division. Starting from November 2005 Ansaldo Nucleare became
a separate Company, even if fully controlled by AnsaldoEnergia.
The Company can rely on a stable work force of about175 experts, plus 25 sub-contracted specialists mainlyinvolved in site activities.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The AP1000 is an advanced nuclear power plant that uses passive safety featuresto enhance plant safety and to provide significant improvements in plantsimplification, reliability, investment protection and plant costs.
The PRHR HX tube bundle is a C-tubeheat exchanger immersed in the In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) located above the reactorcore, promoting natural circulation heat removal between the reactor core and theIn-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank.
The primary flow during decay heat is established with the hot inlet flow entering atthe top and exiting at the bottom of the tube bundle. The secondary fluid is the waterin the In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) which is kept atatmospheric conditions. The water in the vicinity of the tube bundle is expected toheat up and establish natural circulation. Secondary boiling can occur due to thecombination of high primary inlet temperature with the tube wall temperature greaterthan the saturation condition.
The tube bundle has a C-tube configuration, oriented with horizontal sections
attached to each tube sheet and a vertical section between the horizontal sections. The In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) is modeled as a
region surrounding the PRHR HX and is considered to be at atmospheric pressure(14.7 psia, 1.014x105 Pa) and at 80 F. The tank is assumed to be open on the top.
Flow in the In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) is verticallyupward through the tube bundle. Horizontal cross flow is considered within the tubebundle.

RELAP5 MODEL DESCRIPTION
The Relap5/mod3.3 is able to predict the two phase flow behavior in In-containmentRefueling Water Storage Tank and to compute the natural circulation flow based onthe balance of gravity driven circulation. The code is used to predict the IRWSTtemperature and void fraction distributions.
The In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST) is modeled as a tankdivided in a certain number of equal volumes with a mesh x = y = z = 14.2567 in= 1.188 ft, i.e. a rectangular tank with the above dimensions 14 x 7 x 21 (Fig.5.4).The tank is considered to be open at the top and connected to the atmosphere.
The tube bundle in the Relap5 model has to approximate the passive residual heatremoval heat exchanger (PRHR HX) that provides decay heat removal (Fig. 5.3). Itis positioned between IZ=3 and IZ=5 at the bottom and IZ=17 and IZ=19 at the topand IY = 3 to 5 at the top and bottom for horizontal positioning. The vertical bundle ispositioned between IX = 7 to 12 and IY = 3 to 5.
The PRHR HX tube bundle represents 689 tubes. The resulting total heat transfersurface area for this calculation is 4675 ft2 = 434.3 m2.
The IRWST portion is simulated by a number of vertical pipes connected by cross
flow junctions as shown in Fig.5.3. At the top level of each vertical pipe a timedependent volume is connected to simulate the open atmosphere. The last volume ofthe IRWST vertical pipes is partially filled with water, i.e. the IRWST level is located inthe last vertical volumes.
This is a key feature of the simulation, in fact such simulation characteristicseliminates completely the usual numerical circulation inside the pool.

CALCULATION RESULTS
In the following it can be observed the temperature distribution and void fraction forthe tests performed. For each state point there are three pictures that represent thetemperatures (one for each vertical plane of the tube bundle) and three pictures thatrepresent void fractions for the PRHR tube bundle (one for each vertical plane ofthe tube bundle).
The primary temperature distribution plots clearly show the primary temperaturedecreases rapidly in the upper horizontal hot leg and the upper vertical leg of the tube
bundle, indicating that most of the heat transfer occurs in these regions. The power extracted for each state point is: 52 MWt for state point 1, 30.98 MWt forstate point 2, 31.97 MWt for state point 3. The primary exit temperature for eachstate point is: 350 K (170.334 F) for state point 1, 345.28 K (161.839 F) for state point2, 380.33 K (224.923 F) for state point 3.
The main purpose of the activity was to verify the expected heat exchange of thePRHR tube bundle.
As shown by the table values which reports the expected heat exchange the
calculated value is very close to the expected power removed by the system. Also for the last calculated condition (saturated IRWST pool) the system is still able
to remove power from the primary side.

CONCLUSIONS
Scope of this work has been to investigate the temperature,pressure and void fraction of the In-containment RefuelingWater Storage Tank (IRWST) during passive residual heatremoval (PRHR) operation. The simulations were carried out usingRelap5/mod3.
The verification of the calculation shows that the code is able to
correctly predict the outlet passive residual heat removal(PRHR)temperature.
The final results shows that the calculated value is very close to theexpected power removed by the system for all three test casessimulated.
In particular, also for the last calculated condition (saturated IRWST
pool) the system is still able to remove power from the primaryside.
