Evaluation of fission product release rates during postulated core meltdown accidents

  • 1. Hanyang Univ., Seoul (Republic of Korea)

Description

An investigation of fission product release rates under severe accident conditions is presented for a pressurized water reactor with a large dry containment. In the calculation of fission product source terms, the numerical scheme by using core node temperatures during heatup and meltdown is introduced and incorporated into the MARCH code. The results indicated that the significant differences between the numerical integration method and WASH-1400 method are observed, especially Ru and La release categories. (Author)
