Simulation of the Lower Head Boiling Water Reactor Vessel in a Severe Accident
The objective of this paper is the simulation and analysis of the BoilingWater Reactor (BWR) lower head during a severe accident. The COUPLE computer code was used in this work to model the heatup of the reactor core material that slumps in the lower head of the reactor pressure vessel. The predicti...
