Margin for In-Vessel Retention in the APR1400 - VESTA and SCDAP/RELAP5-3D Analyses [PDF]
, 2004 If cooling is inadequate during a reactor accident, a significant amount of core material could become molten and relocate to the lower head of the reactor vessel, as happened in the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) accident.

A Novel Point Estimate Procedure for IVR Calculations in Core-Molten Severe Accident
, 2010 In-Vessel Retention (IVR) of core melt is a key severe accident management strategy adopted by operating nuclear power plants and advanced light water reactors (ALWRs), AP600, AP1000 etc.

Potential for AP600 in-vessel retention through ex-vessel flooding [PDF]
, 1997 External reactor vessel cooling (ERVC) is a new severe accident management strategy that involves flooding the reactor cavity to submerge the reactor vessel in an attempt to cool core debris that has relocated to the vessel lower head.

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 Abstract The efficacy of in-vessel through external reactor vessel cooling (IVR-ERVC) is strongly correlated with the critical heat flux (CHF) on the lower head of reactor pressure vessel (RPV). The high limit of CHF prevents the RPV from failure by extracting much heat out of the vessel through the circulation of working fluid in ...

Experimental study of advanced IVR-ERVC strategy with liquid metal coolant
, 2014 In this work, the boiling tests were conducted to confirm the heat transfer characteristics with small-scaled IVR-ERVC facility. When the liquid metal was flooded surrounding the reactor vessel, the effective heat transfer area could be enlarged.
