BC used mainly for BWR and EPR absorbers could cause phenomena which never happen in PWR with Ag-In-Cd absorbers during severe accident. B
C would make a eutectic interaction with stainless steel and enhance melt relocation. Boron oxidation could increase H
generation and change of liberated carbon to CH
could enhance CH
I generation. HBO
generated during B
C oxidation could be changed to CsBO
by combining with Cs. This may increase Cs deposition in reactor coolant system. There could be differences in configuration, surface area, stainless steel-B
C weight ratio between B
C powder and pellet absorbers. Present issue is to clarify effect of these differences on full scale melt progression, B
C oxidation and source term. Advancement of this research domain could contribute to further sophistication of prediction tool for melt progression and source terms, and treatment of organic iodide formation in safety evaluation.
