Establishing draft of Bapeten Regulation on reactor cooling systems and related systems: Condenser acceptance criteria
The heat transfer system or also known as the reactor cooling system is a very important component to prevent accidents. The importance of the reactor cooling system is evidenced by the issuance of a number of regulations discussing reactor cooling system, including Government Regulation Number 54 Year 2012 concerning Safety and Security of Nuclear Installations, Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency Chairman Regulation Number 3 Year 2011 concerning Safety of Nuclear Power Plant Designs, and Bapeten Regulations Number 11 Year 2020 concerning the Preparation of a Nuclear Power Plant Safety Analysis Report. One of a part on a series of reactor cooling system is condenser which functions to condense steam out of the turbine into liquid phase water which will later be re-evaporated or used for reactor cooling, depending on the type of reactor. Because it is part of a series of reactor cooling system, the working effectiveness of the condenser needs to be maintained so that the reactor cooling system can run well. Therefore, a study was carried out to find out what events might occur in the condenser that could affect the steam condensation process. The results of this study are expected to be used as a consideration in drafting regulations regarding the reactor cooling system. From the results of the study, there are several events that may occur in the condenser that can affect the steam condensation process, namely the lack of cooling fluid inventory; lack of heat transfer surface area; temperature of fluid entering condenser too high; and cracked, leaked, and shattered. These events can generally be overcome by controlling the temperature of the fluid entering the condenser; controlling the speed of the fluid entering the condenser; and dealing with scale, corrosion, and other external factors.
