Aerosols released during large-scale integral MCCI tests in the ACE Program
- 1. Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)

Description
As part of the internationally sponsored Advanced Containment Experiments (ACE) program, seven large-scale experiments on molten core concrete interactions (MCCIs) have been performed at Argonne National Laboratory. One of the objectives of these experiments is to collect and characterize all the aerosols released from the MCCIs. Aerosols released from experiments using four types of concrete (siliceous, limestone/common sand, serpentine, and limestone/limestone) and a range of metal oxidation for both BWR and PWR reactor core material have been collected and characterized. Release fractions were determined for UO2, Zr, the fission-products: BaO, SrO, La2O3, CeO2, MoO2, Te, Ru, and control materials: Ag, In, and B4C. Release fractions of UO2 and the fission products other than Te were small in all tests. However, release of control materials was significant
