Tritium Release Reduction based on Release Trend Analysis JASON SHIN Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power co.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Location of Wolsong NPP II Uljin Kori WolsongYonggwang Wolsong NPP II has 2 units, Unit 3 & 4. They are PHWRs (Pressured Heavy Water Reactors). They generate and release tritium.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Ventilation System of Wolsong 3 & 4 Spent Fuel Bay Reactor Building Service Building GEM one common stack for the effluence from 3 controlled areas

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Monthly Release of Airborne Tritium Increase amount from Unit 3’s release sustained compared to Unit 4’s What would be the cause?

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Ambiguity on Tritium Release of Unit 3 & 4 Unit 3’ tritium concentration in air of the reactor building was a little higher than unit 4’s. (not more than 1.5 times) But Unit 3’ tritium release was much higher than unit 4’s. (more than 2 times) ※ There was an event at unit 4 in March-2009, but it has no relation with the theme.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Respective Tritium Release from the 3 Controlled Area Investigated tritium release rates respectively from Reactor Building, Service Building and Spent Fuel Bay Dominant release was from RB as expected

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Analysis Release Rate versus Concentration In-depth study for relationship between tritium release rate versus airborne concentrations in RB

Wolsong NPP II KHNP R201 and R002 vs Other Areas Unit 3’ concentrations in R201 and R002 were lower but much higher than unit 4’s.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP R201 and R002 vs Other Areas Proportionality of the release rate was sensitive with the concentrations in R201 and R002 compare to the other areas.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP The Reason Why R201 R107, R108, R501 areas have high tritium concentration but low vent flow R201, R002 areas have low tritium concentration but high vent flow ※ Air of R002 was flown from R201: both airborne concentrations are similar R107, R108, R501 Areas R201, R002 Areas

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Assessment of Tritium Release Rate Analysis of measurement data of tritium concentration and designed flow rates of controlled areas Release Rate = Σ(Local Concentration i x Vent Flow i ) R501 & Adjacent Rooms R107, R108 R201 & Adjacent Rooms R002 & Adjacent Rooms Spent Fuel Bay Service Building Reactor Building Stack

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Tritium Release Measurements vs Estimate The measured release roughly agreed with estimated value but there was a little difference at unit 3.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Possible Assumption leak of heavy water containing lots amount tritium in R201 –Some small leak as 0.1L of heavy water could cause dominant portion of daily tritium release, especially with the Moderator. The leak should be near ventilations. –This could explain the difference between the measurement and the estimate for release rate.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Intensive Survey on R201 It is difficult to find the leak point because heavy water evaporates easily and spreads out quickly in the wide area of R201 We divided R201 into many divisions and checked tritium concentration each division.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Leak Points There were 2 positions which have high tritium concentration. Found 2 leak points on Liquid Injection System related to the Moderator System * * concentration inside an envelope wrapping equipment

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Airborne Tritium Concentration after Repair After repair, airborne tritium concentration in R201 went down.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Tritium Release Rate after the Repair The tritium release rate decreased some But it was not enough as expected after repairing. Potentially additional leak near vents which has not affected local concentration measurement.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Further Research Reviewed further potential leak points near vents. Special attention to R402 which has many devices related to Moderator System and vents. R402 was located beside R201 and there was no wall between R402 and R201. R201 R402R403R405R406 Vent flow

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Intensive Survey on R402 We collected samples and measured the tritium concentrations at every spot in R

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Leak Point in R402 We found a leaking valve of Poison Addition System related to the Moderator System also. After we repaired it…

Wolsong NPP II KHNP The Final Effect Tritium release rate dropped a half of the previous one. From RB it dropped to be a third of the previous rate and reached the expected level

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Conclusion We can evaluate the release rate of radioactive material using regular measurements of local concentration with comparing to the designed vent flow rates. This method is useful to search leak points and lead to reduce the release rate.

Wolsong NPP II KHNP Thanks for your attention. Do you have any questions?
