Results of the Latest Large-scale Realistic Experiments Investigating the Post-LOCA Behaviour of Mineral Wool Debris in PWRs
Nuclear Energy Agency
Several series of experiments investigating the post-LOCA behaviour of fragmented insulant material (mineral wool) were carried out and evaluated in the period between 2001 and 2003. The experiments concentrated on: Fragmentation of mineral wool under as realistic conditions as possible; this was performed by exposing stainless steel-clad mineral wool panels as used in German nuclear power plants to a jet of saturated water (DN 200, approx. 290°C, approx. 110 bar). ...
