To evaluate the effectiveness of the wet cavity strategy, the authors developed a stochastic evaluation method that considers the uncertainties of the molten material conditions ejected from reactor pressure vessels. This study analyzed the probability of ex‐vessel debris coolability under the wet cavity strategy. The first step was uncertainty analysis using the severe accident analysis code MELCOR to obtain the melt condition. Five uncertainty parameters related to the core degradation and transfer process were chosen. With the assumed probabilistic distributions, the input parameter sets were generated using the Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method. Analyses were conducted, and the conditions of the melt were obtained. The second step was to analyze the melt behavior in the water and the spreading radius using the JASMINE code and to calculate the height of the debris on the floor. The probabilistic distribution of parameters for the JASMINE analyses was determined from the MELCOR analysis results. LHS generated 200 parameter sets. The depths of the water pool in the analysis were 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 m. The debris height was compared with the criterion to judge its coolability. Consequently, the probability of successful debris cooling was obtained through the sequence of calculations. The feasibility and technical difficulties in the MELCOR‐JASMINE combined analysis were also discussed.
