被引用回数：4 パーセンタイル：20.53(Nuclear Science & Technology)WGAMA started on Dec. 31st 1999 to assess and strengthen the technical basis needed for the prevention, mitigation and management of potential accidents in NPP and to facilitate international convergence on safety issues and AM analyses and strategies. WGAMA addresses reactor thermal-hydraulics (Thys), in-vessel behavior of degraded cores, containment behavior and protection, and FP release, transport, deposition and retention, for both current and advanced reactors. This paper summarizes such WGAMA contributions in Thys, CFD and severe accidents, which include the Fukushima-Daiichi accident impacts on the WGAMA activities and their substantial outcomes. Around 50 technical reports have become reference in the related fields, which appear in References. Recommendations in these reports include further research, some of which have given rise to the joint projects conducted or underway within the OECD framework. Ongoing WGAMA activities are numerous and a number of them are to be launched in the near future, which are shortly mentioned too.

被引用回数：14 パーセンタイル：70.15(Nuclear Science & Technology)Key phenomena in the cooling states of debris beds under wet cavity conditions were classified into several groups based on the complicated geometry, nonhomogeneous porosity and volumetric heat of debris beds. These configurations may change due to the molten jet breakup, droplet agglomeration, anisotropic melt spreading, two-phase flow in a debris bed, particle self-leveling and penetration of molten metals into a particle bed. The modular code system THERMOS was designed for evaluating the cooling states of underwater debris beds. Three additional tests, DEFOR-A, PULiMS and REMCOD were employed to validate implemented models. This paper summarizes the entire test plan and representative data trends prior to starting individual data analyses and validations of specific models that are planned to be performed in the later phases. It also tries to report research questions to be answered in future works, such as various scales of melt-coolant interactions observed in the PULiMS tests.

The OECD project TCOFF-2 (Thermodynamic Chemistry of Fission Products - Part 2) is an extension of the original project that was part of the near-term projects intended to support the Fukushima Dai-ichi decommissioning efforts. This second part continues to be mainly financed by Japanese Ministry (MEXT) with JAEA-CLADS support. TCOFF2 started in August 2022 and includes certain new material requirements compared to the first TCOFF project. These are increased emphasis on accident tolerant fuels (ATFs), certain actinides and fission products related to volatility/leachability but also certain combinations of the ceramic oxide systems important for MCCI behaviour. Following a PIRT review of phenomena in TCOFF 1, there was in TCOFF2 a Task 1 to prioritise current needs, particularly for relevance to severe accident phenomena and alternative materials (ATFs). This included a re-evaluation and ranking of the thermodynamic systems to make a Systems Identification and Ranking Table (SIRT) for the improvement of the thermodynamic database foreseen in TCOFF2. The further systems for evaluation were then proposed by the partners according to their particular requirements; this resulted in over 150 thermodynamic systems. In the mid-year meeting (June 2023) discussions were made to rationalise these into the most important 20 systems. The rationale for the reduction of systems to this limit will be explained in the talk, both those systems that were omitted as well as those finally included. These systems will then be used as a priority list of work for the experimental call to members that will be launched by the TCOFF-2 project towards the end of the year 2023 with the intention to initiate the first projects soon afterwards.

Within the second phase of the OECD/NEA project on Thermodynamic Characterisation of Fuel Debris and Fission Products Based on Scenario Analysis of Severe Accident Progression (TCOFF-2), a Systems Identification and Ranking Table (SIRT), has been derived from the usual PIRT and adapted to chemical thermodynamics and material science. Firstly, a draft list of systems of interests has been distributed to TCOFF-2 partners. After review, a final list of 154 systems has been considered. Then system ranking has been carried out. Two series of figures of merit have been considered: importance for safety including the contribution to severe accident phenomena and to fission product behaviour and source term as well as needs for further R&D, based on the lack of existing data and the needs to improve relevant existing thermodynamic databases (mostly NUCLEA and TAF-ID). Each participating organization provided ranking of the systems for these Figure of Merits. Relevance to safety has been organized in 10 columns: Classical LWR / High BU, High enrichment fuel/ Fukushima Daiichi, TMI2, Chornobyl/Near-term ATF cladding (Cr-coated Zry)/ Near-term ATF cladding (FeCrAl) /Long-term ATF cladding (SiC) /Advanced fuels (UN, U-Si) /Advanced Modular Reactors / Post-Accident Leaching). Received rankings have then been agglomerated and averaged. A dedicated finalization meeting has been held in June 2023 in which the systems having the highest relevance and the largest needs for improvement have been considered. It must be noted that some systems for which there is a rather good knowledge, like (U,O, Zr) have not been selected, nor systems in which thermodynamic results are very hard to attain due to kinetics effect such as (U,H,O). After some system grouping, consensus have been reached on a list of 20 systems (13 linked to current or near-term fuels and 7 linked to longer-term fuels) having the highest priority.
