Description

In order to verify the acceptability of corium cooling-retention strategies, the feasibility of an experimental programme in the existing FARO facility of JRC-Ispra is addressed for carrying out tests on corium retention structures: definition of a new reactor cavity configuration equipped with adequate intervention systems, study of appropriate protection materials, simulation of corium-structure thermal transients through ad-hoc computer models, scaling considerations, test feasibility study. 12 figs., 15 refs
