The JRC-Ispra FARO plant was a large multipurpose test facility in which reactor severe accidents could be simulated by out-of-pile experiments.
The JRC-Ispra FARO plant is a large multipurpose test facility in which reactor severe accidents could be simulated by out-of-pile experiments.
The test section of the KROTOS facility consists of a stainless steel test section bolted to lugs welded on the inner side walls of a stainless steel pressure vessel.
VITI (‘‘VIscosity Temperature Installation’’) experimental assembly: (1) VITI chamber, (2) graphite crucible, (3) ZrCcoating, (4) studied mixture, (5) graphite susceptor, (6) thermal shield, (7) support for crucible, (8) support for thermal shield, (9) inductance coil, (10) pyrometer – measure of
In the hypothetical case of a nuclear reactor severe accident, the reactor core could melt and form a mixture, called corium, of highly refractory oxides (UO2, ZrO2) and metallic or oxidized steel, that could eventually flow out of the vessel and mix with the basemat decomposition products (gener
