Description

The code CALUMO has been developed as a tool for the analysis of temperature transients in FZK QUENCH tests. This code is based on lumped parameter equations for the enthalpy of the fuel rods, the shroud, and the coolant. The code calculates also the evolution of oxide scales and establishes the mass balance on the consumed steam flow, the absorbed oxygen and the produced hydrogen. Scoping calculations for QUENCH-03 and QUENCH-04 provided very encouraging results. (orig.)
