Studies on Key Effect Factors of Natural Circulation Characteristics for Advanced PWR Reactor Cavity Flooding System by Dekui Zhan, Xinhai Zhao, Shaoxiong Xia, Peng Chen, Huandong Chen

“…Reactor cavity would be submerged to cool the molten corium when a severe accident happens. The success criterion of IVR strategy is that the heat flux which transfers from the corium pool must be lower than the local critical heat flux (CHF) of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) outside wall and the residual thickness of the RPV wall can maintain the integrity. …”
