CORCON-MOD3 validation study
- Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM (United States)
CORCON-MOD3 is a computer code developed at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) for the simulation of core-concrete interactions. The newest version of the code, CORCON-MOD3, was released in early 1993. This paper describes the validation of CORCON-MOD3 through comparisons to nine experiments: five experiments that were performed at SNL, three experiments that were performed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and one experiment performed at Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK). Results indicate that both one- and two-dimensional concrete ablation is generally well predicted by the code. The ablation models in CORCON appear to be adequate for both metallic and oxidic melts attacking basaltic and limestone concretes.
