Operation of thermal protection shields used in the corium catcher at a nuclear power station equipped with VVER reactors
Abstract
We present the results from experiments confirming the effectiveness of thermal shields used in the design of the ex-vessel corium catcher at nuclear power stations equipped with VVER reactors for limiting the radiation heat loads on the overlying structural and building elements.
