Assessment of Accident Energetics in LMFBR Core-Disruptive Accidents
- Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States). Reactor Analysis Safety Division
An assessment of accident energetics in LMFBR core-disruptive accidents is given with emphasis on the generic issues of energetic recriticality and energetic fuel-coolant interaction events. Application of a few general behavior principles to the oxide-fueled system suggests that such events are highly unlikely following a postulated core meltdown event.
