High temperature thermocouple design and fabrication
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for fabricating a thermocouple capable of long-term operation in high temperature, hostile environments without significant signal degradation or shortened thermocoupled lifetime due to heat induced brittleness is presented.
ReportDOI
Light water reactor lower head failure analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mode and timing of vessel lower head failure in different light water reactor designs and accident conditions and developed a method for determining which failure mode would occur first in different LWR designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-Vessel Retention of Molten Corium: Lessons Learned and Outstanding Issues
TL;DR: In-vessel retention of core melt is a key severe-accident management strategy adopted by some operating nuclear power plants and proposed for some advanced light water reactors (LWRs).
ReportDOI
Potential for AP600 in-vessel retention through ex-vessel flooding
TL;DR: The external vessel cooling (ERVC) is a new severe accident management strategy that involves flooding the reactor cavity to submerge the reactor vessel in an attempt to cool core debris that has relocated to the vessel lower head.
