Code Standard Evaluation for ASME AG-1-2019, Section FL

ASME AG-1 Section FL Deep Bed Sand Filters includes a requirement to use Special Test Sections to provide a representative assessment of the filter efficiency. The SRPPF project design basis is to test the entire filter bed (versus a representative sample) following the same basis methodology to test the existing filters at the Savannah River Site. Using a combination of: 1) the filter testing experience at SRS since the early 1970’s, 2) the methodology found in ASME AG-1 for testing high capacity HEPA filter housings and 3) requirements for stack or duct sampling systems published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Special Test Sections methodology for Deep Bed Sand (DBS) filters in ASME AG-1 Section FL has been replaced with a methodology to test the entire DBS filter system.

Multiple Phase Screen Scintillation Code Execution and Examples

The phenomenon of random fluctuations in the amplitude and phase of received transionospheric radio frequency (RF) signals is well known and documented. For wide band signals, sometimes a set of frequencies in the the band or even the whole band can suffer degradation or complete drop out at the receiver. The former is known as frequency selective scintillation where only a fraction of the signal bandwidth is affected, whereas the latter is known as flat fading.

The SAS4A/SASSYS-1 Version 5.8 Safety Analysis Code System

SAS4A/SASSYS-1 is a software simulation tool used to perform deterministic analysis of anticipated events as well as design basis and beyond design basis accidents for advanced nuclear reactors. Detailed, mechanistic models of steady-state and transient thermal, hydraulic, kinetic, and mechanical phenomena are employed to describe the response of the reactor core, the reactor primary and secondary coolant loops, the reactor control and protection systems, and the balance-of-plant to accidents caused by changes in coolant flow, loss of heat rejection, or reactivity insertion. The consequences of single and double-fault accidents can be modeled, including fuel and coolant heating, fuel and cladding mechanical behavior, core reactivity feedbacks, coolant loop performance including natural circulation, and decay heat removal. Analyses are typically terminated upon demonstration of reactor and plant shutdown to permanently coolable conditions, or upon violation of design basis margins. The objective of the analysis is to quantify accident consequences as measured by the transient behavior of system performance parameters, such as fuel and cladding temperatures, reactivity, and cladding strain. Originally developed for analysis of sodium cooled reactors with oxide fuel clad by stainless steel, the models were subsequently extended and specialized to metallic fuel clad with advanced alloys and to several other coolant options, including lead, LBE, and water.
