Description

Aerosol formation mechanisms from in-vessel release in Light Water Reactor (LWR) core damage accidents are important when aerosol transport in the Reactor Cooling Systems (RCS) is analysed. However, currently there is only very limited information available on aerosol formation from in-vessel releases. Vapour release rates and aerosol formation from heated LWR fuel and control rod simulants have been studied in the modified Falcon test facility. (author)
