Progress of severe accident (SA) can be divided into core degradation and post core
meltdown. An important phenomena during severe accidents is the hydrogen generation …

Today, there is a great opportunity for alternative energies and specifically for hydrogen
technologies to flourish within Mexico. The opportunity for the hydrogen production research …

This study is directed to determine potential risks associated to hydrogen concentrations in
an originally fully inertized drywell of a BWR Mark II primary containment, as a consequence …

The corium behavior and its effects on containment behaviors along with mitigation
measures are investigated for Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) by using the MELCOR and …

An uncertainty analysis based on the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) method and
MELCOR code for hydrogen production during a SA in WWER1000 nuclear reactor is …

Hydrogen generation and its deflagration or explosion can damage the containment integrity
during severe accidents (SAs). In this paper, the total amount of the produced hydrogen …

This paper proposes a mathematical model for the oxidation process of zirconium under the
theory of oxygen diffusion in Zircaloy. The model considers ZrO 2, α-Zr (O), and β-Zr phases …

After the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, hydrogen
generation has resurfaced as a key issue, with respect to its quantification in the simulation …

Nuclear disasters have severe and far-reaching consequences. Emergency managers and
first responders from utility owners to local, state, and federal civil authorities and the …

Severe Accidents Management (SAM) in nuclear power plants is an important safety issue.
SAMs require assessing the thermal-hydraulic conditions of the nuclear reactor during the …
