Development of cladding oxidation analysis code [COAC] and application for early stage severe accident simulation of AP1000

Review on Core Degradation and Material Migration Research in Light-Water Reactors

“…Another model developed by Mr. Keyou Mao named Clad solid-phase Oxidation Analysis Code (COAC) has shown better results through verification with a test from the CORA experiments, specifically CORA-13. This code COAC is also being used in AP1000 for further clad-oxidation calculations (Mao et al, 2015).…”
