CORCON: a computer program for modelling molten fuel/concrete interactions. [PWR; BWR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5544706
A computer program modelling the interaction between molten core materials and structural concrete is being developed to provide a capability for making quantitative estimates of reactor fuel-melt accidents. The principal phenomenological models, inter-component heat transfer, concrete erosion, and melt/gas chemical reactions, are described. A code test comparison calculation is discussed.
