OSTI ID:6250309
The BNL staff have performed an extensive assessment of potential failure modes for core meltdown accidents in a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) with a Mark III containment. The particular Mark III containment under consideration did not initially include provision for any system to control H/sub 2/ burning, so that H/sub 2/ phenomena were found to be dominant contributors to containment failure. However, all Mark III containments will now have provisions for the control of H/sub 2/ burning, which will influence our current assessment of H/sub 2/ phenomena.
