KAPOOL experiments on melt-through of a metal plate by an overlying melt pool
In the event of a hypothetical severe accident in a Light Water Reactor (LWR) it is possible that the core melts and relocates to the lower head of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV). If the severe accident management measures are not successful, the RPV can fail and the core melt is discharged onto the basement of the containment. To prevent a sign...

Measures to avoid corrosion under HPLWR service conditions have to take into account the whole cooling system. In principal, it consists of the material and its surfaces exposed to the aqueous medium, especial ly of the fuel cladding material, internally in contact with fuel and its fission products, externally exposed to the water as heat transfer...

In-core and out-of-core materials selection for the HPLWR
In this report a state-of-the-art study was performed to investigate the operational conditions for in-core and ex-vessel materials in a future High Performance Light Water Reactor (HPLWR) and to evaluate the potential of existing structural materials for application in fuel elements, core structures and out-of-core components. In the conventional ...

The QUENCH experiments are to investigate the hydrogen source term that results from the water or steam injection into an uncovered core of a Light-Water Reactor (LWR). The QUENCH-06 experiment performed in the QUENCH facility at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe Research Center) on 13 December, 2000 was to investigate the behavior of pre-...

Im Rahmen des Vorhabens SR 2394 ist in einer Modellstudie an Beispielen untersucht worden, ob Pruefkonzepte fuer passive mechanische Komponenten von deutschen Kernkraftwerken mit Leichtwasserreaktoren mit Hilfe probabilistisch orientierter Rechenverfahren ueberprueft werden koennen. Fuer US-amerikanische Kernkraftwerke mit Druck- und Siedewasserrea...
