- Summary
- This paper presents a review of PCRV design with special emphasis on pressure limitations for large GCFRs. Discussion on major factors affecting PCRV design includes tendon layout requirements; location and arrangement of major components, especially the steam generators, auxiliary heat exchangers, and main and auxiliary circulators; and the balance-of-plant interface requirements. Joint PCRV and containment design efforts are required to evaluate the impact of the horizontal circulator cavity on the PCRV design pressure limitation. Without major departure from current design practice and the benefit of detailed assessment of limiting factors, operating pressures up to 120 bars are found technically feasible.
