Abstract
A manual concerning the behavior of hydrogen in light water reactors has
been prepared. Both normal operations and accident situations are addressed.
Topics considered include hydrogen generation, transport and mixing, detection,
and combustion, and mitigation. Basic physical and chemical phenomena are
described, and plant-specific examples are provided where appropriate. A wide
variety of readers, including operators, designers, and NRC staff, will find
parts of this manual useful. Different sections are written at different
levels, according to the most likely audience. The manual is not intended to provide specific plant procedures, but rather, to provide general guidance
that may assist in the development of such procedures.
