Collapse Criterion for the CANDU 6 Calandria Vault Floor During a Severe AccidentSource: Journal of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Science:;2017:;volume( 003 ):;issue: 002::page 20908Author:David, Robert

Abstract: The thickness at which the calandria vault floor in a generic CANDU 6 nuclear reactor may collapse while undergoing molten core–concrete interaction (MCCI) was studied using an approximate analytical model and a finite-element model. It was confirmed that the collapse criterion of 0.45 m floor thickness that is currently used in severe accident analyses is adequate. The estimated timing of collapse is subject to uncertainty of several hours.
