August 20 Registration Topic 1 Topic 2 August 21 Topic 3 Discussion Optional Sandia Tour
Topic 1 - Safety margins of actual containment’s for design basis accidents
Topic 2 - Capacity of containment’s systems to withstand severe accidents: hydrogen explosion; lower head failure of reactor pressure vessel; ejection and dispersion of core melt; direct containment heating
Topic 3 - Evaluation of large scale containment tests; design improvements; aging effect of sensitive components
The seminar lectures will be presented by speakers familiar with the recent research activities. Intensive discussion is encouraged. For the essential questions a round table discussion will be arranged. Some interesting findings will be presented.
Attendees interested in making a presentation, please contact one of the organizers for more information.
An optional tour of Sandia National Laboratories will be held on Tuesday afternoon (2:30 – 5:00 p.m.). The tour will begin after the seminar, however prior clearance must be obtained for entrance.
