Presentation of the NABE calculation code

The purpose of the NABE code is to follow up the physical and chemical parameters of a concrete cell when large amounts of sodium are released by accident in the reactor building. The code contains several modules: behaviour of the concrete, heating-up, water and CO2 release, reactions between liquid and vapor sodium with the concrete breakdown products, combustion of sodium and hydrogen (water), power released by the fission products in the liquid, the gas and the concrete, behaviour of the atmosphere of the cell (pressure, temperature, leaks), sodium vaporization and boiling, and condensation on the cold walls
