The effects of cladding thermo-physical and thermo-chemical properties on the coping time during a PWR unmitigated LB-LOCA

To evaluate quantitatively the effects of individual thermo-physical and thermo-chemical cladding properties on the coping time, an unmitigated large break loss of coolant accident (LB-LOCA) was simulated using Modular Accident Analysis Program (MAAP) code. For this purpose, hypothetical cladding…
