Phase separation of metal-added corium and its effect on a steam explosion

3D simulation of a 500 kg UO2 melt in a cold crucible induction furnace

“…Introduction. The cold crucible technology has been selected in this project because it has already proven his ability to melt corium thanks to Korean [1,2] and Russian [3,4] works but only for lower mass. Simulation of such induction furnace is quite well known in the CEA Marcoule for vitrifiction purposes [5,6].…”
