Macroscopic segregation of molten core and melt components occurs with slow cooling rate in the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. In this study, solidification and microscopic segregation are simulated with the Scheil model and thermal properties calculated by Thermo-calc in order to investigate an influence of cooling conditions on macroscopic segregation. A macroscopic segregation behaviour has been calculated for UO
-ZrO-FeO system, which are major oxides of molten core materials in various conditions. According to calculated results, UO and ZrO were concentrated in initial solidification area. On the other hand, FeO was strongly concentrated in later solidification area. FeO was significantly segregated because FeO does not be dissolved in UO and ZrO. In addition, macroscopic segregation tends to become stronger in the conditions of slow solidification rate and fast velocity of solidification interface.

Macroscopic segregation of molten core and melted components occurs with slow cooling rate in the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. The solidification model considering macroscopic segregation of molten core and melted components was developed in order to predict distribution of core elements. In this study, solidification and microscopic segregation were simulated with the Scheil model using thermal properties calculated by Thermo-calc. We estimated segregation behavior of molten core and investigated an influence of cooling conditions on macroscopic segregation.

Macroscopic segregation of molten core components occurs with slow cooling rate in the accident of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants. In order to investigate these segregation behavior, the solidification model for numerical simulation has been developed. In this model, solidification and microscopic segregation of molten corium are simulated with the Scheil model and thermal properties calculated by Thermo-calc. In this study, the validation of macrosegregation analysis of this model were performed. As the preliminary analysis, the calculation results were compared with corium solidification experiments. It was proved that this model can estimate the tendencies of macrosegregation.
