Hydrogen risk: studies about detonation phenomena via Plexus code

  • 1. CEA Centre d'Etudes de Saclay, 91 - Gif-sur-Yvette (France). Dept. de Mecanique et de Technologie

Description

The hydrogen risk in nuclear reactor is an extensive field of study which includes several aspects like burning via deflagrations or detonations and containment integrity. An extensive amount of work has already been devoted to this problem. The scope of this paper is to present some subjects related to hydrogen risk which are in progress at CEA/DMT, associated to computation of detonation shock waves in confined or semi-confined volumes and the resulting impulsive load on the containments
