Development of failure evaluation method for BWR Lower head in severe accident; - Creep damage evaluation based on thermal-hydraulics and structural analyses -

In existing severe accident codes such as MELCOR and THALES2, rupture of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) by relocated molten core is judged using simple models such as temperature and/or stress criteria. However, it is difficult to assess rupture behavior of the lower head of RPV in boiling-water-type...
