Assessment of reactor vessel integrity

Objective

The project ARVI will be responsible for resolving the remaining issues of melt vessel interactions after completion of the MVI Project. The proposed work also includes the application of the data and the validated methodology.
The major focus of the project is on determining
(1) the effects of the melt pool stratification observed in the RASPLAV experiments,
(2) the creep behaviour of vessel, timing and the modes of its failure with and without penetrations,
(3) the effectiveness of the gap and the external cooling and
(4) the survivability of the lower head in the event of an in-vessel steam explosion.

The ARVI project proposes large scale highly prototypic and innovative experiments for data on vessel creep and failure modes, and on stratified pool convection. There are several tasks on model development and validation. A group of highly competent partners will accomplish the objectives.
