Description

The research and development for identify the bottom head failure mechanisms is one of the long term issues for the establishment of severe accident management strategies for light water reactors after TMI 2 accident. The LBLOCA, SBLOCA, and SBO scenarios for an advanced power reactor developed is analyzed in order to obtain an overall insight into a severe accident progression from an initiating event to the reactor vessel failure in detail by using the MELCOR Versions 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 computer codes
