1 Reliability Studies of the Pds - Xads Accelerator Paolo
نویسنده
چکیده
This document summarizes the suitable design strategies that have been followed (and exposed in the contractual deliverable 57) in order to meet the reliability and availability specifications for the XADS accelerator. The document describes also how these strategies can be applied in the different components, and how iterations can lead to reliability improvements. The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) methodology has been used on the suggested design for highlighting the reliability critical areas.

Benchmark on Beam Interruptions in an Accelerator-driven System Final Report on Phase I Calculations
This specification is proposed for a computational problem that aims to investigate the outlet core coolant temperature behaviours induced by beam interruptions of varying duration in an XADS-type system. In order to define the common application for the proposed computational benchmark, fuel channel geometry, power data, material properties, heat transfer correlations and the point kinetics ar...
متن کاملReliability studies of a high-power proton accelerator for accelerator-driven system applications for nuclear waste transmutation
The main effort of the present study is to analyze the availability and reliability of a high-performance linac (linear accelerator) conceived for Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS) purpose and to suggest recommendations, in order both to meet the high operability goals and to satisfy the safety requirements dictated by the reactor system. Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) approach has been consid...
متن کاملMOX–Report No. 24/2009 Optimized Fuzzy C-Means Clustering and Functional Principal Components for Post-Processing Dynamic Scenarios in the Reliability Analysis of a Nuclear System
This paper deals with the processing of accident scenarios generated from a dynamic reliability analysis of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). A large number of scenarios are simulated to account for the influence of the timing and magnitudes of fault events on the accident end states; post-simulation processing is then required for retrieving the safety-relevant information. For classifying the fina...
متن کاملBenchmark on Beam Interruptions in an Accelerator-driven System: Final Report on Phase II Calculations
A second phase of benchmark calculations is proposed for the Beam Interruptions in a Lead-bismuthcooled and MOX-fuelled Accelerator-driven System computational problem. This second phase of calculations aims to extend the beam interruption investigation to prototypical ADSs characterised by larger fuel power densities. To this aim, the computational benchmark is no longer limited to an XADS-typ...
متن کاملNeutronic Analysis Studies of the Spallation Target Window for a Gas Cooled Ads Concept
Some design options for transmutation devices are under consideration, one of them includes a window target cooled by eutectic Lead Bismuth for a gas cooled transmutation core. In this paper we will show the neutronic calculations that we have performed to obtain the heat deposition in the target material, the neutron flux produced in the target and the radiation damage in the structural materi...
