Analysis of the Effect of Severe Accident Scenario on Debris Properties in Lower Plenum of Nordic BWR Using Different Versions of MELCOR Code by Sergey Galushin, Pavel Kudinov

“…Core melt is released into a deep pool of water where formation of noncoolable debris bed and ex-vessel steam explosion can pose credible threats to containment integrity. Success of the strategy depends on the scenario of melt release from the vessel that determines the melt-coolant interaction phenomena. …”

CFD Modeling of Wall Steam Condensation: Two-Phase Flow Approach versus Homogeneous Flow Approach by S. Mimouni, N. Mechitoua, A. Foissac, M. Hassanaly, M. Ouraou

“…The present work is focused on the condensation heat transfer that plays a dominant role in many accident scenarios postulated to occur in the containment of nuclear reactors. The study compares a general multiphase approach implemented in NEPTUNE_CFD with a homogeneous model, of widespread use for engineering studies, implemented in Code_Saturne. …”

Proposed Relationships Between Climate, Biological Soil Crusts, Human Health, and in Arid Ecosystems by Marieke L. Ramsey, Daniel R. Kollath, Anita J. Antoninka, Bridget M. Barker

“…Creating stabilizing matrices, these microorganisms interact with soil surface minerals thereby enhancing soil quality by redistributing nutrients and reducing erosion by containment of soil particles. Climatic stressors and anthropogenic disturbances reduce the cover, abundance, and functions of these communities leading to an increase of aeolian dust, invasive plant establishment, reduction of water retention in the environment, and overall poor soil condition. …”

A Network-Based Impact Measure for Propagated Losses in a Supply Chain Network Consisting of Resilient Components by Jesus Felix Bayta Valenzuela, Xiuju Fu, Gaoxi Xiao, Rick Siow Mong Goh

“…We obtain an analytical expression for the impact measure under a beta-distributed initial loss (generalizable to any continuous distribution supported on the interval 0,1), under a breakthrough scenario (in which a fraction of the initial production loss reaches a focal company downstream as opposed to containment upstream or at the originating point). Furthermore, we obtain a closed-form solution for a supply chain network with a k-ary tree topology; a numerical study is performed for a scale-free network and a random network. …”
