ARISG
Organization:
Ciemat
Type:
Thermal Hydraulics
Description:

ARIGS is one of the programs on the aerosol retention on the tubes surrounding the breach within the secondary side of the steam generator in the absence of water. Its development has been internationally framed within the EU-SGTR and the ARTIST programs.
Type of Facility: Corium
DISCO-C
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

The facility models the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), part of the reactor cooling system (RCS), the cavity, and the pump and steam generator rooms. The length scale is 1:18, compared to a large European reactor.
Type of Facility: Corium
DISCO-H
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

The main components of the facility are scaled about 1:18 linearly to a large European reactor: the containment pressure vessel (volume 14 m³), the RPV-RCS pressure vessel (0.08 m³), the cavity, the subcompartment, and the steam accumulator (0.08 m³).
Type of Facility: Corium
ECO
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

The ECO facility, housed inside the large FAUNA steel vessel, was designed for investigating energy conversion ratios up to 20 %, related to 10 kg of melt. In principle, it consists of a piston/ cylinder system having 4 m in the total height.

Description:

The LIVE facility at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe is designed to study the late phase of core degradation, onset of melting and the formation and stability of melt pools in the RPV.
Type of Facility: Thermal Hydraulics
LOBI
Organization:
European Commission
Type:
Thermal Hydraulics
Description:

The LOBI Project originated from a reactor safety research and development contract between the European Commission and the former Bundesminister für Forschung und Technologie of the Federal Republic of Germany.

PECA
Organization:
Ciemat
Type:
Source Term
Description:

Steam generator reliability and performance are serious concerns in the operation of pressurized water reactors.
Type of Facility: Corium
PREMIX
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

The test facility consists of a slender cylinder with an effective inner diameter of 0.66 m bearing plane glass windows in the front and back sides. The upper part is occupied by the melt generator which leaves a 0.14 m wide annular space for the steam flow.
Type of Facility: Corium
QUENCH
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

An important accident management measure for controlling severe accident transients in light water reactors (LWRs) is the injection of water to cool the degrading core.
Type of Facility: Corium
QUEOS
Organization:
KIT
Type:
