During 2018 substantial advances in experimental and analytical capabilities as well new insights into physical mechanisms were gained at KTH, VTT and LRC for: (i) development of experimental facilities of SIMECO-2, MRSPOD and POMECO-Q for studies of melt pool convection as well as remelting and quenching of debris beds; (ii) validation of the MEWA code for coolability analysis of particulate beds, and its applications to reactor-scale debris beds; (iii) experimental investigations on quenching of a hot sphere in a seawater pool and single molten droplet steam explosion in sea water; (iv) modeling of melt infiltration through particulate beds, and its validation against the REMCOD experiment; (v) coupled thermal-mechanical analysis approach and its validation against the FOREVER-EC2 experiment; (vi) study of a dynamic containment event tree modelling particularly focusing on the modelling of timings of events and uncertainty analysis; (vii) the comparison of MEWA and DECOSIM simulations for the post-dryout conditions of the same idealized particulate beds; and (viii) the application of a dynamic approach (such as ROAAM+) to PSA for an enhanced probabilistic risk analysis. | | Keywords: | IDPSA, Severe Accident, Deterministic Analysis, ROAAM+ | | Publication date: | 23 Oct 2019 | | ISBN: | ISBN 978-87-7893-518-2 | | Number of downloads: | 1247 | | Download: |  NKS-428.pdf |
