3. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OR FUNCTION

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires utilities to determine the response of a pressurized water reactor to a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) as part of the safety analysis for the plant. The SGTR analysis includes assumptions regarding the iodine concentration in the reactor coolant system (RCS) due to iodine spikes, primary flashing  and bypass fractions, and iodine partitioning in the secondary coolant system (SCS). Experimental and analytical investigations have recently been completed wherein these assumptions were tested to determine whether and to what degree they were conservative (that is, whether they result in a calculated iodine source term/dose that is at least as large or larger than that expected during an actual event). The current study has the objective to assess the overall effects of the results of these investigations on the calculated iodine dose to the environment during an SGTR. DOSE-SGTR was written to assist in this study.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

DOSE-SGTR uses a simple, non-mechanistic model  to calculate the iodine source term to the environment during a steam generator tube rupture as a function of water mass inventories and flow rates and iodine concentrations in the reactor coolant system and secondary coolant system.

6. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME

Cumulative execution time for all the DOSE-SGTR sample problems on a Northgate 486/66 was approximately five seconds.
CCC-0624/01
NEA-DB ran the test cases on a 66MHz PC/80486. Each test case required about 3 seconds of execution time.
