Abstract:After the reactor core melt, the thermal impact of high temperature molten mixture to the lower head of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) will cause the shape change of cooling channel constituted by reactor pressure vessel outer surface and other supporting structures. This phenomenon may lead to local heat transfer deterioration and then cause the failure of in-vessel retention (IVR). Therefore, it is necessary to study the reactor pressure vessel deformation under in-vessel retention conditions. This paper prop… Show more
