German LWR core meltdown program
Description
The objectives of the LWR Core Meltdown Program within the framework of the Reactor Safety Research Program of the German Ministry of Research and Technology are to find out the main phenomena during different reactor accident sequences which lead to core melting and the consequences for the environment. Starting point of the project KERNSCHMELZEN was the assumption of a hypothetical failure of the ECC following after a double ended pipe rupture. The latest results show that the molten core debris at the bottom of a RPV will penetrate the vessel in a very short time
