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.
The SIMECO (SImulation of MElt COolability) test facility consists of a slice type vessel, which includes a semi-circular section and a vertical section, representing the lower head of the reactor vessel. The size of the facility is scaled to be 1/8 of prototypic PWR type reactors.

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
