The Institut de Protection et de Surete Nucleaire is carrying out a severe-accident program involving both experiments (PHEBUS FP, in particular) and computer code development (ICARE2 and ICARE/CATHARE as far as the primary circuit phenomenology is concerned). The goal is to gain knowledge on core degradation and fission product behavior for safety analysis. This process will build a validated primary circuit code to predict the consequences of a severe accident in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) up to a possible lower head failure (ICARE/CATHARE), thus providing the boundary conditions for ex-vessel corium behavior, in particular for spreading in the new-generation reactor core catcher.
