Validation of Sodium Chemistry (NAC) Package - FY18 Progress.

Technical Report Louie, David ; Humphries, Larry L.

This report describes the progress on the validation of the development of MELCOR Sodium Chemistry (NAC) package. The primary focus for this report is to ensure that the implementation of the CONTAIN-LMR sodium models into MELCOR is correctly done. Thus, the verification test is to conduct the code-to-code comparison with MELCOR and CONTAIN-LMR. Last year we had reported the development of NAC package which included three sodium models: spray fire, pool fire and atmospheric chemistry. The first 2 models were completed and additional improvement for these two models were done this year to allow upward spray capability and various functionalmore »« less

MELCOR computer code manuals

Technical Report Summers, R.M. ; Cole, R.K. Jr. ; Smith, R.C. ; ...

MELCOR is a fully integrated, engineering-level computer code that models the progression of severe accidents in light water reactor nuclear power plants. MELCOR is being developed at Sandia National Laboratories for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a second-generation plant risk assessment tool and the successor to the Source Term Code Package. A broad spectrum of severe accident phenomena in both boiling and pressurized water reactors is treated in MELCOR in a unified framework. These include: thermal-hydraulic response in the reactor coolant system, reactor cavity, containment, and confinement buildings; core heatup, degradation, and relocation; core-concrete attack; hydrogen production, transport, andmore »« less

MELCOR 1.8.2 assessment: The MP-1 and MP-2 late phase melt progression experiments

Technical Report Tautges, T.J.

MELCOR is a fully integrated, engineering-level computer code being developed at Sandia National Laboratories for the USNRC, that models the entire spectrum of severe accident phenomena in a unified framework for both BWRs and PWRs. As a part of an ongoing assessment program, MELCOR has been used to model the MP-1 and MP-2 experiments, which provided data for late-phase melt progression in PWR geometries. Core temperature predicted by MELCOR were within 250--500 K of measured data in both MP-1 and MP-2. Relocation in the debris bed and metallic crust regions of MP-2 was predicted accurately compared to PIE data. Temperaturemore »« less

Development of a MELCOR Sodium Chemistry (NAC) Package - FY17 Progress.

Technical Report Louie, David ; Humphries, Larry L.

This report describes the status of the development of MELCOR Sodium Chemistry (NAC) package. This development is based on the CONTAIN-LMR sodium physics and chemistry models to be implemented in MELCOR. In the past three years, the sodium equation of state as a working fluid from the nuclear fusion safety research and from the SIMMER code has been implemented into MELCOR. The chemistry models from the CONTAIN-LMR code, such as the spray and pool fire mode ls, have also been implemented into MELCOR. This report describes the implemented models and the issues encountered. Model descriptions and input descriptions are provided.more »« less
