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

Reactor cavity flooding is a cornerstone of severe accident management strategy in Swedish type BWRs.
Type of Facility: Corium
SIMECO
Organization:
KTH
Type:
Corium
Description:

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.
