Light Water Reactor Safety Research Program Quarterly Report, July--September 1976
The Molten Core--Concrete Interactions Study was initiated on July 15, 1975, to provide a qualitative, extensive exploration of the phenomena associated with contact between molten-core materials and concrete. The experimental elements of this study are divided into four categories: (1) deposition of corium-type melts onto concrete, (2) kinetics and stoichiometry of the thermal decomposition of concrete, (3) response of concrete to heat fluxes at one surface, and (4) simulation experiments that explore phenomena at the interface between a melt and a decomposing solid. Experimental results are being incorporated in a scaling analysis that will establish scaling parameters for the system and identify key elements of the melt-concrete interaction. A number of major tests were performed during this period. Six large-scale molten steel/concrete interactions were performed to complete the test series. Several small-scale thermite melt/concrete tests were performed. The test series concerning the response of concrete to high heat flux was completed. Additional tests were performed concerning the thermal decomposition of concrete. (ERA citation 02:043304)
