Nuclear aerosols: retention kinetics in vessels and pipes
Description
A retention model is described of a core-melt aerosol in the cooling circuit of a nuclear reactor. The model is based on sedimentation and impact processes only. The Marviken-V tests are first summarized and the model is then compared with the retentions measured. It is concluded that the cooling circuit can retain typically 50% of a core-melt aerosol when it is dry and more than 99.8% when some part of it contains water through which the aerosol passes.
