Review of Severe Accident Phenomena in LWR and Related Severe Accident Analysis Codes

Severe accident risks in fossil energy chains: A comparative analysis

Accidents in the energy sector have been identified as one of the main contributors to man-made disasters. The present work focuses on the assessment of severe accident risks relating to fossil energy chains. Evaluations were based on the highly comprehensive Energyrelated Severe Accident Database (ENSAD), which was established at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI). The historical experience repr...

Uncertainty Analyses Using the MELCOR Severe Accident Analysis Code

The MELCOR code is a detailed system level computer code capable of performing integrated selfconsistent analyses of severe accident progression in commercial nuclear power plants, supporting level 2 probablilistic risk assessment (PRA) studies. Originally developed as a fast running tool with simplified models for performing probabilistic safety analyses and sensitivity studies, MELCOR now emp...

Preliminary assessment of accident-tolerant fuels on LWR performance during normal operation and under DB and BDB accident conditions

Following the severe accidents at the Japanese Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011, the US Department of Energy initiated research and development on the enhancement of the accident tolerance of light water reactors by the development of fuels/cladding that, in comparison with the standard UO2/ Zircaloy (Zr) system, can tolerate loss of active cooling in the core for a considerably ...
