A steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) is a design
basis accident (DBA) which the plants have been designed to cope with. Its specific …

In this paper, the effect of particle size on deposition in a compact heat exchanger is
investigated numerically. The effect of flow velocity and particle mass on the deposition for …

The 6th FWP SARNET project launched a set of studies to enhance understanding and
predictability of relevant-risk scenarios where uncertainties related to aerosol phenomena …

Postulated accident sequences of a pressurized water reactor, consisting of steam generator
tube ruptures (SGTRs) in combination with a melting core, have been demonstrated to …

A large body of data has been gathered in the last decade through the EU-SGTR, ARTIST
and ARTIST 2 projects for aerosol retention in the steam generator during SGTR severe …

A steam generator tube rupture accompanying a core damage may cause the fission
product to be released to environment bypassing the containment. In such an accident, the …

This article summarizes the main results of a bench-scale program focused on
experimentally assessing the aerosol retention near the tube breach in a tube bundle. The …

Aerosol retention in the secondary side of a failed steam generator during a postulated
severe accident SGTR sequence might attenuate the potential Source Term, even in the …

Aerodynamics of a particle-laden gas jet entering the secondary side of a shell-and-tube
heat exchanger from a tube guillotine breach, determines to a large extent radioactive …

During SGTR meltdown sequences the containment bypass of the fission products reaching
the secondary side of the steam generator makes this scenario be a significant risk …
