Type of Facility: Containment
REKO
Organization:
FZ-Jülich
Type:
Containment
Description:

The catalyst sheets (stainless steel coated with washcoat/platinum catalyst material) are arranged in parallel forming vertical rectangular flow channels. Such a set-up represents a box-type recombiner section of AREVA design.
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
KAJET
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

The KAJET erosion test facility is shown in Fig. 10-1. Total melt masses of up to 300 kg can be provided by various types of melt generators. Driving pressures of up to 2.5 MPa can be established.
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
QUEOS
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
Description:

The QUEOS facility consists of the test vessel, the furnace and the valve system separating the two. The spheres are heated in an electric radiation furnace in an argon atmosphere. The spheres are discharged into the water with a drop height of 130 cm.
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.
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
LIVE
Organization:
KIT
Type:
Corium
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.
