Criticality safety analysis for a core catcher designed in Korea

Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2012
Abstract Corium is a molten mixture of portions of a reactor core generated by a core melting accident. Corium includes fissionable materials; therefore, a criticality safety analysis must be performed for the core catcher design. This study analyzes the criticality safety of corium arranged in a core catcher developed in Korea.

New sacrificial material for ex-vessel core catcher

Journal of Nuclear Materials, 2015
Abstract A new functional (sacrificial) material has been developed in the Fe 2 O 3 –SrO–Al 2 O 3 –CaO system based on strontium hexaferrite ceramic in concrete matrix. The method of producing SM has been advanced technologically; this technological effectiveness allows the SM to be used in ex-vessel core catchers with corium spreading as well as in ...

Conceptual design of an in-vessel core catcher

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2004
An enhanced in-vessel core catcher is being designed and evaluated as part of a joint United States (US)–Korean International Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (INERI) investigating methods to insure retention of materials that may relocate to the lower head of a reactor vessel under severe accident conditions in advanced reactors.

Studies for the Staggered Pans Core Catcher

Nuclear Technology, 1995
Special devices (core catchers) might be required in the future to prevent containment failure by basemat erosion after reactor pressure vessel melt-through during a core meltdown accident. Quick freezing of the molten core masses is desirable to reduce the release of radioactivity.

Design of core catchers for sodium cooled FBRs – Challenges

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2020
Abstract The whole core meltdown scenario in sodium cooled fast reactors is considered under design extension criteria and has a very low probability of occurrence. To mitigate such a hypothetical severe accident in fast breeder reactors, a core catcher has been provided to accommodate the core debris within the primary containment boundary.

A Core Catcher Concept and First Experimental Results

18th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering: Volume 3, 2010
In a postulated core melt accident, if a molten core is released outside a reactor vessel despite taking mitigation actions, the core debris would relocate in the reactor cavity region and attack the concrete wall and basemat of the reactor cavity. This will potentially result in inevitable concrete decompositions and possible radiological releases. To

Demonstration of the heat removing capabilities of the EPR core catcher

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2005
Abstract The EPR implements an additional, fourth level of defense-in-depth that aims at limiting and restricting the consequences of a postulated severe accident with core melting to the immediate vicinity of the plant. As this requires an intact confinement, it is necessary, among others, to avoid an attack of the molten core on the basemat.

Development and Design of the EPR™ Core Catcher

2010
The EPR™ is an evolutionary pressurized water reactor in the thermal range of 4,500 MWth, designed and marketed by AREVA NP. Currently, there are four EPR™ plants under design and construction: Olkiluoto-3 (OL3) in Finland, Flamanville-3 (FA3) in France, and Taishan 1&2 (TSN) in the People’s Republic of China.
