A Scoping Analysis of the Impact of SiC Cladding on Late-Phase Accident Progression Involving Core–Concrete Interaction

Creators

  • 1. Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)

Description

The overall objective of the current work is to carry out a scoping analysis to determine the impact of ATF on late phase accident progression; in particular, the molten core-concrete interaction portion of the sequence that occurs after the core debris fails the reactor vessel and relocates into containment. This additional study augments previous work by including kinetic effects that govern chemical reaction rates during core-concrete interaction. The specific ATF considered as part of this study is SiC-clad UO2.
