Sažetak

For a large Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) loss of coolant accidents, properly sized SFP spray can
slowdown or possibly preclude fast heat-up of spent fuel. The MELCOR 2.1 model of NPP Krsko
pool was developed and tested for cases of loss of cooling accidents. The simple spray system with
spray nozzles distributed at specified location at the top of the pool was added to the model.
Different loss of coolant rates where studied for different fuel heat loadings, and different openings
and flow rates of the spray nozzles. Traditionally, spray nozzles able to produce larger diameter
droplets are used close to the fuel locations with higher heat loadings. According to preliminary
results, spray nozzles that will be installed are able to limit or delay long-term heat-up of the spent
fuel, but in the case of late actuation it is possible to have temporary high oxidation rates and
corresponding production of hydrogen.
