Thermodynamic data bases and calculation code adapted to the modelling of molten core concrete interaction (M.C.C.I.) phenomena, developed jointly by Thermodata and the ``Institut de Protection et de Surete Nucleaire`` (France)

Abstract

An oxide data base containing the main five oxides Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}, CaO, SiO{sub 2}, UO{sub 2} and ZrO{sub 2} of a corium obtained if the reactor core melts through the vessel and slumps into the concrete reactor cavity is developed using the GEMINI2 code. This oxide quinary system study takes into account physical realistic thermodynamical modeling of all the possible equilibrium species of the system. Two applications are presented: the determination of liquidus and solidus temperatures of some selected mixtures of the quinary system (core: UO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} and concrete: Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-CaO-SiO{sub 2}), a better modeling of the fission products release by vaporization from the corium. (A.B.). 5 refs., 2 figs.
