OECD MCCI Project: 2-D Core Concrete Interaction (CCI) Tests (CCI-4 Final Report)

Applications of ASTEC integral code on a generic CANDU 6

“…In the second case presented in this paper, the 2D ablation anisotropy observed in MCCI-OECD (Farmer and Lomperski, 2007;Farmer et al, , 2006a and VULCANO (Journeau et al, 2008(Journeau et al, , 2009(Journeau et al, , 2012Carenini et al, 2007) 2D MCCI tests for siliceous concrete was taken into account using a different heat transfer model towards the pool/concrete interface (Cranga et al, 2010c). This interface model takes into account main findings obtained from the analysis and interpretation of the 2D MCCI experiments with real materials and is an alternative model in MEDICIS.…”

OECD MCCI Project: Category 4 Integral Test to Validate Severe Accident Codes: Core-Concrete Interaction Test Six (CCI-6) Test Plan (Rev. 6)

“…The overall facility design and test operating procedures for CCI-6 contain many elements that are similar to those used in the previous five tests [1][2][3]. However, at the 5 th PRG meeting, the MB requested that several changes be made so that the test can serve as an integral experiment for validation of severe accident codes.…”

“…The estimated chemical composition for this concrete is provided in Table 2-5. This composition is based on analysis of a specimen taken from the CCI-3 concrete archive sample [1]. The actual composition of the concrete for Test CCI-6 will be determined through chemical analysis of a specimen that will be collected during fabrication of the sidewall and basemat components.…”
