Severe ACcident REsearch group
The severe accident research group is active in:
Own experimental work
- Filtered containment venting systems (FCVS)
- Iodine retention in aqueous solutions (FCVS, pool scrubbing)
- Aerosol transport and removal (DIANA facility)
- Two-phase flow hydrodynamics in the TRISTAN and ISOLDE facilities
- Reflux condensation in the presence of non-condensable gases
Analytical work for source term analysis
- Aerosol transport and removal
- Future Reactor Concepts
Plant analysis using severe accident codes
- Long-term station black-out (SBO) scenarios and accident mitigation
- Fukushima accident analysis: OECD/NEA BSAF project, fission product transport
- Safety features of Molten Salt Fast Reactors (SAMOFAR)
- Spent fuel pool (SFP) analysis and fuel integrity
- Assessment of MELCOR code
