“…However, the geometry of the steam generator: tube bank, support plates, separators and dryers provide a large surface area on which fission products may be trapped. The presence of liquid may further augment the retention (Güntay et al, 2004).…”

“…The second one was to verify and develop predictive models to support accident management interventions during steam generator tube rupture sequences (Auvinen et al, 2005). Its natural extension was the ARTIST project (AeRosol Trapping In a Steam Generator, 2003, a seven-phase project that sought to fulfill the database and model development (Güntay et al, 2004). The investigation is presently being continued until the end of 2011 under the frame of a second stage of the ARTIST project, called ARTIST II (Lind et al, 2008).…”

“…These projects have demonstrated experimentally that some retention should be expected and that it would be highly dependent upon governing thermal-hydraulic conditions and the location and size of the break (Auvinen et al, 2005;Güntay et al, 2004;Herranz et al, 2006). Particularly, the presence of water in the secondary side appears to be a key factor (Güntay et al, 2004), since a substantial fraction of particles carried by gas might be scrubbed by the water.…”

“…Particularly, the presence of water in the secondary side appears to be a key factor (Güntay et al, 2004), since a substantial fraction of particles carried by gas might be scrubbed by the water. This is the reason supporting flooding of the failed steam generator as an accident management measure to minimize the release of fission products from a defective steam generator ).…”

“…Aerodynamics would determine to some extent particle depletion as in this case it is driven by inertial and turbulent mechanisms. Conversely, phoretic deposition processes were anticipated not to play any role due to the absence of thermal and steam concentration gradients in the scenario (Bakker et al, 2001;Güntay et al, 2002;Güntay et al, 2004).…”

If a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) occurs during a severe accident in a nuclear power plant, radionuclides can be released to the atmosphere as an aerosol. The release of radioactive compounds can be prevented if these compounds are deposited on the tube walls. To quantify the fraction of aerosol particles retained in the SG and to effectively trap the radioactive aerosols during a severe accident, characteristics of particle impaction on surrounding SG tube walls must be evaluated. In this study, TiO 2 agglomerates were used for experiments. Particle breakup and bounce behavior due to impaction were evaluated by measuring aerosol number concentration as a function of particle size and by analyzing transmission electron microscopy images before and after impaction.

ZrO 2 from cladding oxidation can also play a role in reducing the melting temperature of the corium mixture, as also discussed in [5].
