Description

Recently three experiments have been carried out in the BETA facility in order to investigate the process of zirconium oxidation during the melt-concrete interaction. The results have shown the dominance of the condensed phase reaction between the Zr and SiO2 leading to a high chemical energy release and therefore to a fast concrete erosion. On the basis of this BETA test series the improved WECHSL code is validated. (author)
