Abstract In the management of severe accident of nuclear reactor, the pressure relief of reactor coolant system (RCS) is an important mitigation measure to prevent high pressure core melt (HPCM). In the safety system improvement of Tianwan56 nuclear power plant, the optimization measure of adding the dedicated pressure relief valve (DPRV) for severe accident were adopted. This improvement allows the reactor to release the pressure of RCS before the reactor vessel being damaged to mitigate the consequence of reactor melt accident under high-pressure condition. Based on the analysis of severe accident sequences, the total loss of feed water accident is confirmed to cover the various severe accident consequences which may lead to HPCM accident. This paper studied the transient characteristics of total loss of feed water accident sequences, and the factors such as valve opening delay on the operating temperature of the valve were researched. Finally, the representative and envelope operating condition of DPRV under severe accident was clarified. Besides, the temperature curve of fluid passing through the valve and the maximum temperature the valve experienced were obtained. This research provides the valuable and indispensable basis to the operability and integrity analysis of DPRV in severe accident.

Based on the theory of high pressure supercooling and pressure relief quick freezing, the ultra-high pressure instantaneous freezing device is developed. This device can break through the limitations of existing ultra-high pressure device design. Through the new hydraulic transmission design, It can complete fast pressurization, fast pressure relief and achieve continuous work. The matching of whole systems under certain load conditions, hydraulic transmission system, refrigeration system, pressure vessel and pressure relief system has been completed. The device can realize the whole process of ultra-high pressure quick freezing from food feeding, pressure cooling, pressure relief instant freezing and semi-automatic food discharging. Compared with the conventional same-capacity quick-freezing device, the energy consumption of the instantaneous freezing device under the design condition is only 24.52% of that of the traditional quick-freezing device, which greatly saves energy consumption. From the perspective of application, the design concept of ultra-high pressure quick-freezing device is perfected and the practical process of ultra-high pressure quick-freezing is advanced.
