Fuel Behaviour After a LOCA Followed by a Site Design Earthquake at 24 Hours After the Initial Event

Abstract

Following a LOCA event, the long term decay power removal is ensured by low pressure ECC pumped flow. As per design, a Site Design Earthquake (SDE) can occur at 24 h after the initial assumed event. The paper will present the main results related to broken loop fuel behaviour following such a sequence of events
