The availability of a qualified system code for the deterministic safety analysis of the in-box LOCA postulated accident is of primary importance.

Abstract
The availability of a qualified system code for the deterministic safety analysis of the in-box LOCA postulated accident is of primary importance. Considering the renewed interest for the WCLL breeding blanket, such code shall be multi-fluid multi-phase, shall manage the thermodynamic interaction among the fluids, and shall include the exothermic chemical reaction between lithium-lead and water, generating oxides and hydrogen. The paper presents the implementation of the chemical correlations in SIMMER-III code, the verification of the code model in simple geometries and the first validation activity based on BLAST Test N°5 experimental data. The validation activity will be based on a validation matrix, which will be based on the new experimental infrastructure LIFUS5/Mod3 installed at ENEA CR Brasimone.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
