The motivation for transitioning away from zirconium-based fuel cladding in light water
reactors to significantly more oxidation-resistant materials, thereby enhancing safety …

New fuels are being developed for light water nuclear reactors with the initial goal of
improving accident tolerance. More recently, these new fuel systems are also being …

Abstract The Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP), Version 5 (MAAP5) and Methods
of Estimation of Leakages and Consequences of Releases (MELCOR) are widely used …

The present work aims to study the phenomena of droplet entrainment from water pool in a
confined atmosphere, which could be either a consequence of boiling or depressurization …

The severe accidents at Fukushima have shown that a further development of Severe
Accident Management Guidelines (SAMGs) is necessary. Within this work, the severe …

Advanced light water reactor (LWR) fuels have been developed incrementally for more than
60 years before the term Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) was created. There are many different …

The reactor accidents at Fukushima Daiichi have rekindled interest in light water reactor
(LWR) severe accident phenomenology. Postevent analyses have identified several areas …

The Instrumentation performance during a Severe Accident (SA) is currently one of the key
identified gaps in Nuclear Safety. The instrumentation is licensed using the pressure and …

ABSTRACT Iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) alloys are being considered as advanced
fuel cladding concepts with enhanced accident tolerance. FeCrAl alloys have slower …

The reactor accidents at Fukushima Daiichi have rekindled interest in late-phase severe
accident behavior involving reactor pressure vessel breach and discharge of molten core …
