Study on loss-of-cooling and loss-of-coolant accidents in spent fuel pool (confirmation of fuel temperature calculation function with oxidation reaction in the SAMPSON code)

In this study, the SAMPSON code was modified to evaluate severe accidents in a spent fuel pool (SFP). Not only the SFP but also upper spaces of the SFP, walls of the reactor building, and the blowout panel were included. Air oxidation models obtained by the Zircaroy-4 cladding (ANL model) and the Zi...
