Description

The programme PHEBUS was set up to study the behavior of water reactor fuel elements in the event of a depressurization hitch. Amongst other things it should allow the computing codes describing depressurization and rewetting to be ajusted for application to the calculation of power reactor accidents. It should also allow to investigate the behavior of fuel elements and the efficiency of the safety injection

Abstract (French)

Le programme PHEBUS a pour objectif d'etudier le comportement des elements combustibles des reacteurs a eau en cas d'accidents de depressurisation. Il doit, entre autres, permettre d'ajuster les codes de calcul decrivant la depressurisation et le remouillage afin de pouvoir les appliquer au calcul des accidents des reacteurs de puissance, d'etudier le comportement des elements combustibles et l'efficacite de l'injection de secours
