Type of Facility: Corium
COLIMA
Organization:
CEA
Type:
Corium
Description:

Determination of the vaporization rate according to the composition and the thermodynamic conditions of the corium (with FP simulants) was the aim of the COLIMA (COrium LIquid and MAterials) experiments.

Description:

In severe accidents with primary-to-secondary leakages, the retention of fission products in horizontal steam generators is poorly understood.
Type of Facility: Corium
KROTOS
Organization:
CEA
Type:
Corium
Description:

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.
Type of Facility: Containment
MISTRA
Organization:
CEA
Type:
Containment
Description:

The influence of containment sprays on atmosphere behaviour is being investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Experiments are being performed on the TOSQAN and MISTRA experimental facilities.
Type of Facility: Containment
TOSQAN
Organization:
CEA
Type:
Containment
Description:

The experiment objective was to study the physical phenomena that affect hydrogen distribution in the reactor containment such as: steam wall condensation, heat mass and momentum exchanges with the sump or with the containment spray systems.

Type of Facility: Corium
VULCANO
Organization:
CEA
Type:
Corium
Description:

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
