Description

The main objective of the paper is to examine on the Rivne NPP spent fuel pools using the thermal-hydraulic MELCOR code.A series of calculations with decay heats of spent fuel in case of plant blackout was performed. The departure from nucleate boiling for the spent fuel pools was calculated, which will allow plant personnel to take specific measures on accident management taking into account the available time
