CORCON-MOD2: a computer program for analysis of molton-core concrete interactions
CORCON is a computer code for modelling the interactions between molten core materials and concrete, such as might occur following a core meltdown accident in a Light Water Reactor. It may also be applied to experiments which simulate such accident conditions. The code predicts the behavior of the system, including heat transfer, concrete ablation, cavity shape change, and gas generation. The first version, CORCON-MOD1, was released in 1981. This report is a complete users' manual and reference for the updated version, CORCON-MOD2. The major changes are the inclusion of models for solidification of the melt and for its (non-explosive) interactions with coolant water. In addition, a number of improvements have been made in response to experience with CORCON-MOD1. The new code remains compatible with the old in the sense that MOD2 will accept any input data set which was accepted by MOD1.
