Description

Advances of thermal hydraulic behavior in sever accident of LWR is reviewed, especially focused on the vapor explosion. It is important to investigate the thermal hydraulic behavior during the severe accident of LWR, since it could threaten the integrity of the containment vessel of LWR. Vapor explosion is one of such thermal hydraulic behaviors. The thermal hydraulic criteria for the vapor explosion are described based on the macro and micro point of view. (author)
