RISExperimental and Numerical Investigation of Solidification of Gallium in an Initially Emptied Horizontal Pipe Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a reactor core meltdown under postulated severe accidents, the molten material (corium) could be ejected or relocated through existing vessel penetrations (cooling pipe connections), thus potentially contaminating other ...
Development of Analysis Tools for Heat Pipes Used in the Core Cooling of Small Modular Reactors: Potassium Property Correlations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Alkali metal heat pipes can be used for core cooling in advanced micro- and small modular reactors. This article provides a detailed review of currently available saturation property correlations for potassium that can be ...
Sensitivity Analysis of Unsteady Corium Solidification in an Initially Emptied Horizontal Turbulent Pipe Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a reactor core meltdown under postulated severe accidents, the molten material called corium could be ejected or relocated through existing vessel penetrations. There exists, however, a potential for plugging of melt ...
