Abstract Following Fukushima Daiichi, nuclear safety is paramount in advanced pressurized
water reactors. In-Vessel Retention (IVR), notably External Reactor Vessel Cooling (ERVC) …

During core meltdown accidents, the heat flux distribution along the wall of lower plenum
was closely related to the potential of vessel failure. Concerning with the natural convection …

Coolability and retention of core melt (corium) in the lower head of reactor pressure vessel
(RPV) has been accepted as a severe accident management strategy to maintain the reactor …

To better understand the thermal behavior of a two-layer melt pool with a high Rayleigh
number—a pattern observed in the RASPLAV study, which indicates a significant risk to …

Abstract The External Reactor Vessel Cooling (ERVC) is crucial to realizing In-Vessel
Retention (IVR) strategy when reactor core degradation happens; consequently, fission …

Abstract External Reactor Vessel Cooling (ERVC) is a key measure to realize molten corium
In-Vessel Retention (IVR). The uncertainty of severe accident in core leads to the uncertainty …

Abstract In-Vessel Melt Retention (IVR) is credited as a promising Severe Accident
Management strategy to stabilize the molten corium during severe accident scenarios. This …

In the core meltdown accident, fission products are limited in the vessel bottom as indicated
in the In-Vessel Retention (IVR) strategy analyses, resulting in forming a three-layer …

The research activities on reactor severe accident in LWRs at the group IKET-UNA and
since September 2018 named IKET-SAR from 2017 to 2018 are focused on the in-and …

Transient behavior and heat transfer characteristics of the multi-layer corium pool is a
