In France, both Electricite de France and Framatome are using the modular accident analysis program (MAAP) version 4 code for severe accident scenario analyses. Commissariat a l`Energie Atomique, in collaboration with them, is investigating the code prediction capabilities on hydrogen production. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the fuel-clad oxidation model on the CORA-13 test results and to find the most sensitive parameters to this reaction, especially during reflooding.
