Description

The aim of this work is to study aerosol particle deposition in a single tube of the AIDA (Aerosol Impaction and Deposition Analysis) condenser test facility (Ludwig, 2000) and the full scale PCC (Passive Containment Condenser) of an ESBWR plant. This condenser utilizes natural circulation, which results in significant simplification due to the reduction of active components (e.g. pumps, valves etc.) in the reactor control system. After a severe core melt accident aerosol particles are likely to be generated. Deposition is an essential aspect of the source term prediction for severe core melt accidents. (author)
