International MITHYGENE-ETSON benchmark
Journal Title: Energetika - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Lithuanian Energy Institute scientists participated in the international MITHYGENE-ETSON benchmark and provided simulations of hydrogen combustion.In the case of a severe accident in a nuclear power plant, flammable gases can be produced during the transient. Hydrogen can be produced during an exothermal oxidation of fuel cladding and other overheated metallic surfaces. If during the accident reactor vessel integrity failed and corium migrated to the containment, an additional large amount of hydrogen would be produced, together with carbon monoxide and other gases during molten coreconcrete interaction
