A cool and low-pressure moderator provides a passive heat sink to absorb decay heat from the fuel for postulated conditions of so-called beyond design basis accidents.
Other analyzed abnormal conditions could be caused mainly by the human factor--it is an erroneous cask loading with 32M basket containing SNF of maximum decay heat power.
After the shutdown of fission reactions, decay heat is emitted from the fission products (FP's) in spent fuels for a substantial time.
The sodium coolant is shown flowing in pipes through core, SGDHR (Safety Grade Decay Heat Removal), Intermediate Heat Exchanger and Steam Generator.
In the simulation, the decay heat is completely transferred through the core surface to the LBE, and the flow heat transfer inside the core is not considered.
This would seem to be a further argument for underground siting of modules with individual secondary containments; these would have to dissipate decay heat to the surroundings while allowing refuelling and maintenance equipment to traverse across a row of modules at ground level, carrying their own temporary containment barriers.
"By then it is cool enough that further cooling can be accomplished by natural convection--air flow driven by the decay heat of the spent fuel itself."
Following a plant shutdown, decay heat, a byproduct of nuclear fission, initially produces about 6 percent of the steady state power.
Their decay heat, explains Powers, raises the temperature to the point where vapor pressure is sufficient to revaporize--and, therefore, remobilize--aerosols late in the accident sequence.
