2. 1. An Experimental Study on Melt Fragmentation, Oxidation and Steam Explosion during Fuel Coolant Interactions

   Author : Louis Manickam; Weimin Ma; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; severe accident; fuel coolant interactions; melt jet breakup; debris properties; steam explosion; oxidation; high-speed visualization; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Nordic type boiling water reactors (BWRs) adopt reactor cavity flooding as a severe accident mitigation strategy (SAMS) to achieve core melt fragmentation and long-term cooling of decay heat generating core debris. The qualification of this SAMS needs to address two main severe accident issues: debris bed coolability and steam explosion. READ MORE

4. 2. On Fuel Coolant Interactions and Debris Coolability in Light Water Reactors

   Author : Sachin Thakre; Weimin Ma; Florian Fichot; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; severe accident; fuel-coolant interactions; melt jet fragmentation; steam explosion; debris bed coolability; uncertainty analysis; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : During the case of a hypothetical severe accident in a light water reactor, core damage may occur and molten fuel may interact with water resulting in explosive interactions. A Fuel-Coolant Interactions (FCI) consists of many complex phenomena whose characteristics determine the energetics of the interactions. READ MORE

5. 3. Melt-water interactions in a reactor containment : from integrated assesment to phenomenological studies

   Author : Timo Okkonen; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis examines melt-water interactions for theex-vessel phase of a severe reactor accident. The studies startfrom the development of an assessment methodology that tiestogether the vessel melt release scenarios and the mainprocesses affecting the melt-water interaction effects in thereactor containment.

   Abstract : To assess corium coolability during severe accidents of LWR, significant number of studies have been conducted previously to investigate the characteristics of debris beds formed from FCI due to fragmentation of molten corium and settlement of the fragments in a water pool. However, their focus has been placed on the oxidic component (UO2/ZrO2) of corium, while little attention has been paid to the debris bed formation due to FCI of the metallic component (Zr/Fe) of corium.

7. 5. Phenomenological and mechanistic modeling of melt-structure-water interactions in a light water reactor (LWR) severe accident

   Author : Anh Bui Viet; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Severe accidents in light water reactors have been the fotalpoint of much research, performed in the last two decades,aimed at understarrding the inherent physical phenomena and toevaluate proposed accident management schemes for mitigatingthe consequences of such accidents. Severe accident progressionand consequences, av the reactor core overheats and melts, areintimately related to the interactions of the melt with coolant(water) and structures. READ MORE
