Description
S. Bragg-Sitton and B. Merrill held a teleconference with researchers from General Atomics (GA) to discuss the possible use of the modified version of MELCOR for analysis of ATF. GA is interested in having INL extend the MELCOR work led by B. Merrill to update the SiC failure modes per their current data/understanding and to add U3Si2 fuel to the materials options. GA may also want to link FRAPTRAN with MELCOR. The discussion focused on feasibility, given GA provides the fuel data and SiC failure models. A follow-on discussion has been scheduled with GA management on Friday, September 8 to address timeline and funding for the proposed work. (S. Bragg-Sitton)
