Abstract:The risk and consequences of vapor explosion during severe accidents are among the most critical safety problems to be considered in next-generation sodium-cooled fast reactors. The melt of the core material (corium) may be produced in the event of inadequate core cooling and/or during Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) leading to Core Disruptive Accident (CDA). Corium displacement can then lead to powerful fuel-coolant interactions (FCIs). One of the consequences of this molten corium-coolant interaction is that… Show more
