Fission product release from fuel under severe-accident conditions

R.R. Hobbins, David Andrew Petti, Donald L. Hagrman

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review recent advances in the understanding of fission product release from fuel under severe-accident conditions in light water reactors. Insights on the effects of severe-accident phenomena, including fuel morphology, H{sub 2}/H{sub 2}O ratio, fuel liquefaction, molten pools, and debris beds, on fission product release from fuel are discussed.
