Time-resolved penetration measurements of liquid sodium into limestone concrete

OSTI ID:6871862
The treatment of post-accident containment problems for advanced reactors requires an understanding of how the structural concrete beneath the reactor vessel behaves when subjected to molten reactor plant materials. Of special interest is the case of a sodium spill because the resulting chemical reactions are exothermic and generate considerable quantities of gas. An important parameter in these reactions is the rate at which the reaction zone penetrates the concrete.
