Calculation of heating-up and oxidation of a fuel assembly under conditions of the CORA-W2 experiment

Creators

Description

Developed mathematical model was used to study the stage of fuel assembly heating-up with account of oxidation of fuel cans in the CORA-W2 experiment, simulating WWER-1000 core degradation at severe accident. Results of correlation of obtained design characteristics with experimental data for temperatures of fuel cans and casing, as well as for hydrogen generation rate are presented. 10 refs., 9 figs
