A.BSTRACT d
Phenome ological issues on molten core concrete interaction (MCCI) have support of the Farley Individual Plant Examination (IPE) been examined in to synthesize MCCI knowledge from Program. The approaches taken were (1) experimental data, computer codes and analytical tools, and, (2) to develcp a failure criterion to determine if such a postulated phenomena could chal-lenge containment integrity at the Farley Nuclear Plant.
For Plant Farley, basemat penetration due to molten corium concrete postulated containment failure mechanism. If molten core interaction is a debris breaches the reactor vessel and contacts concrete surfaces, molten corium concrete interaction can occur.
During postulated severe accidents Farley, water pools may be present in the containment at locations where at core debris might collect.
The steaming due to boil-off of this water plus contributions due to containment heating by the debris would over-pressurize l
)
the containment and induce containment failure prior to basemat penetration by MCCI given no containment heat removal system is available, If contain-
\\'/
ment heat removal is available, the existing water pools can be recirculated (contain=ent sprays) or refluxed (fan coolers) to cool the debris and prevent containment failure or delay it sufficiently that recovery or acci-dent management ac'; ions could also be successful in establishing a safe sequences such as station blackout or transients stable state.
For some with no injection, no containment sprays and no containment heat removal, If the cavity could become dry shortly after reactor failure.
the reactor debris is not dispersed from the cavity at vessel failure in such cases, and no water sources are recovered, the containment basemat could undergo MCCI.
For the Farley Nuclear Plant, MCCI would most likely occur (if at all) in the cavity region of the containment. MCCI will erode concrete in both the sideward and downward directions, but a failure criterion is based on the downward direction because the downward erosion speed is much faster than the sidevard erosion speed.
The containment is considered failed when the depth of concrete erosion is equal to the combined depth of the cavity n
floor and the containment basemat.

1 To -eutimate the extent of concrete erosion with~ time, a technique suitable for hand-calculations is presented' along with experimental and analytical results relevant to MCCI This technique expresses conse:vation of mass and energy for MCCI and proceeds in a piecewise fashion to account for. changes in core debris and chemical phenomena over time. The technique is used to find the following: the time interval during which the zirconium.
in the debris pool is being oxidized, the depth of erosion during the zir-conium oxidation phase, and the time to containment failut e by MCCI.
Inputs to the calculation technique stem from t.he analytical and experimental, results presented herein.
Appropriate physical properties required for MCCI calculations (densities, specific heats, etc.) are tabulated herein. Othe'r-parameters, most notably the sideward erosion rate to downward erosion rate
- ratio, are assigned values based upon the-BETA and SWISS test series
-described here.
The Farley IPE plant specific parameter file is used to provide values for the geometry of the cavity and the corium debris itself.
l Calculations were performed with this technique for the " dry" case where the debris cannot be covered permanently by an overlying pool. This scenario is best illustrated by the station blackout (SBO) case. In the SB0 sequence. MCCI begins about two hours after the reactor vessel failure.
These' assumptions lead to a containment failure time due to MCCI of 62 hours7.175926e-4 days <br />0.0172 hours <br />1.025132e-4 weeks <br />2.3591e-5 months <br /> after the initiating event for the dry case. Sensitivity runs indicate that.
this value is a highly conservative lower bound.
For the case with the debris covered, calculations were not performed -
because of the large body of experimental data which has demonstrated the ability of water to rapidly quench molten debris. Once the debris has been j
to maintain it coolable, quenched, water can ingress into the debris bed assuming the overlying pool is replenished. Also, MAAP runs show minimal concrete ablation in those accident sequences where the debris remains covered.
In principle, calculations can be performed for the " wet" case in f
the same manner as for the dry case to, say, consider sensitivity studies of l
ingression.
These calculations are not performed here since they would simply demonstrate large times to failure, i.e.,
hundreds of hours, for basemat failure by MCCI.

Based on these calculations, MCCI can be excluded as' a containment failure mechanism, relative to other containment failure mechanisms. For the station blackout " dry" case, containment failure would occur due. to over-pressurization long before failure due to MCCI, as demonstrated by-f I
fundamental analyses as well as MAAP results. For the case where the debris is covered, MCCI would be halted by water ingression into the debris bed.

1.0 PUltPOSE The potential failure of a containment building due to molten core debris attack on its concrete floor has been a subject of concern for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Staff since the Reactor Safety Study
[NRC, 1975) identified it as the mechanism for two possible containment failure modes.
One concern is that molten core debris ejected from a failed reactor vessel would come into contact with the containment floor and even-tually erode a large enough volume of concrete that either the reactor cavity walls would lose their load-carrying capability or the basemat would be penetrated and core debris would exit the containment. Also, debris attack would generate steam and noncondensable gases that would contribute to the potential for containment failure by over-pressurization.
In (NRC, 1988), the NRC recommends t: et the extent of molten core-concrete interactions (MCCI) be assessed to determine its potential to cause containment failure. The objective of this paper is to develop
)
a strategy t
for accounting for containment failure due to MCCI in the source term por-tion of the Farley Nuclear Plant IPE.
In this paper, only containment failure due to concrete ablation during MCCI is considered.
Over-pressurization caused by noncondensable gases Senerated during MCCI is not considered here.

2.1 - Desertation Thermal attack of structural concrete in a containment building can occur during a core melt sequence if the molten core debris breaches the reactor vessel and contacts the concrete surfaces in the containment build-ing.
In a PWR plant, the concrete surface that experiences the most severe thermal attack typically is the cavity floor.
The interfacial heat transfer between the core debris and concrete drives the thermal decomposition and erosion of the concrete.
The thermal attack on the concrete can be broken up into three different phases:
a short term, localized attack as debris leaves the reactor pressure vessel; an aggressive attack by high-temperature debris immediately after the core material is released from the primary system; and a long-term attack in which the debris temperature would remain i
essentially constant and the rate of attack is determined by the internal heat generation.
Immediately after vessel failure, debris is discharged from the vessel into the reactor cavity.
This material, which may be molten, induces an aggressive localized jet attack upon the concrete surf ace, given the absence l
of water in the cavity. A pool in the cavity could greatly mitigate this.
l
- attack, depending upon its depth. The thermal attack is localized to the area below the failure.
Estimates of this attack based on analyses in
[IDCOR, 1985]
show the depth to be 3.94 to 7.84 inches (10 to 20 centimeters),
depending upon the primary system conditions at vessel failure.
Af ter the jet attack, the reactor cavity floor region may be covered by i
I high-tempe rature debris which aggressively attacks the concrete substrate.
Free water, bound water, and gases generated by concrete decomposition are then released.
The gases stir the melted material and promote convective heat transfer between this material and the concrete.
The combination of the sensible heat added to the concrete, the endothermic chemical reactions involved in releasing water vapor and decomposing the concrete, and the
22
((l' latent heat of fusion for melting the substrate extracts a considerable amount of energy from the high temperature melted material.
In fact, the aggressive attack generally requires more energy than is generated by the decay power.
Such additional internal heat generation can result from the oxidation of metallic constituents within the melted material by the steam and possibly by carbon dioxide released from the concrete substrate.
Typically, the high temperature, aggressive attack is driven by internal heat generation and secondly, to a lesser extent, by the initial stored energy.
During the long-term attack, the debris remains at an essentially constant temperature, and the rate of attack is determined by the difference between the internal heat generation and the heat losses to the containment environment.
Without water, these heat losses are principally due to con-vection and radiation, and are somewhat influenced by the natural convection of high temperature gases throughout the containment.
The resulting con-crete attack rate is much reduced from that typical of the high-temperature
(~N attack phase and occurs over a much longer interval.
The noncondensable
-/
gases generated during this period contribute to long term overpressuriza-tion of the containment.
2.1.1 Contro111nr Physical Processes The major physical phenomena affecting the extent of concrete erosion by core debris are closely interrelated and therefore difficult to separate.
For the purpose of this discussion, these phenomena are identified as fol-lows:
rate and amount of core debris expulsion from the reactor vessel; melt-water dynamic interaction and melt spreading; configuration of the debris mass on the concrete; depth of the melt bed; and the quenching effect of water.
The following are brief discussions of how the controlling phenomena influence this issue.
The core debris flow rate from a failure ir. the bottom of the reactor vessel determines the initial velocity with which the melt spreads.
As the initial spreading rate decreases, there is an increase in the time for heat rx transfer from the melt to the concrete floor
- and, if present, overlying i
i
23 b,,-)
C water pool.
Thus, the initial spreading rate and and the energy losses from the melt influence the excent of initial melt spreading.
The initial extent of melt spreading is also very dependent on the effects of the water / debris dynamic interaction on the heat transfer from l
1 the molten debris.
If the interactions between the melt and water cause the debris to disperse, or cause violent oscillations at the melt-water inter-
- face, these interactions might lead to heat transfer rates far in excess of heat transfer rates associated with critical heat flux boiling.
If not, the melt-water interface would undergo film boiling rather than nucleate boil-ing.
After the molten debris has initially spread out, two types of debris configurations are possible:
a discontinuous porous debris bed composed of discrete particles; or a continuous slab of partially molten pool.
The debris bed configuration has been shown to occur when sufficient water is available to quench the debris as it leaves the reactor vessel.
Otherwise, a continuous slab configuration typically occurs because there is less water e
(%
available than would be necessary to ensure debris fragmentation.
It is possible that a debris bed can evolve into a continuous debris slab.
If the porosity in the bed limits the bed dryout heat flux below decay power heat removal requirements, the debris bed would heat up and eventually melt into a continuous debris configuration.
The debris configuration strongly af-fects the quenching capability of overlying water.
The depth of the debris also affects how effectively energy is removed from the debris.
If it is postulated that the initial debris layer is so thick that the rate of heat removal from the debris is exceeded by the internal heat generation rate, then the debris would reheat and ultimately remelt.
Further spreading of molten or partially molten debris would then occur, aided by gas agitation from concrete erosion if the concrete were sufficiently heated.
The debris would spread until the heat removal rate was sufficient to freeze it, or was constrained by the cavity.
In (NRC, 1988),
the NRC has stated that a debris layer less than 9.84 in (25 cm) in depth may be considered to be coolable.
O
24 g(3)
The last phenomena to discuss is the quenching effect of water.
For a 1
debris bed, the physical mechanism of cooling is water ingression into the bed with outflow of steam from the bed.
The coolability limit for debris beds is a hydrodynamic limitation within the bed itself that strongly depends on the porosity, and is fairly iidependent of the debris bed depth.
For a thin debris slab or shallow pool, conduction is an effective heat transfer mechanism and the slab can cool quickly with little or no cracking.
However, for a thicker slab or deeper pool, coolability requires cracking of the slab or overlying crust and ingression of water into the debris.
Such cracking would be expected to occur as a result of the volume reduction associated with debris cooling and phase change, as well as sparging of of fgases produced by any thermal attack of concrete.
2.1.2 Relationshio to Containment Failure Mechanisms and Modes Extensive erosion of concrete by high-temperature core debris is a potential late containment failure mechanism that would be expected to occur n
many hours after reactor vessel failure and debris release into the contain-ment.
Two actual failure mechanisms are considered possible as a result of concrete erosion:
penetration of the containment basemat; and sufficient deterioration of the load-carrying capability of the cavity walls that the reactor vessel moves and causes gross mechanical failures of penetrations for piping connected to the reactor vessel.
Both of these containment failure mechanisms would be expected to result in large containment failure areas (on the order of several square feet).
2.1.3 Relationshin to Source Term long-term molten core-concrete attack leading to containment failure influences the exTected fission product release for a sequence by providing a large gas and/or corium flow path out of the containment long after vessel failure.
The effect on the source term, however, depends on the presence of water in the cavity during a sequence prior to containment failure.
For a dry sequence, since the airborne fission product concentration in a closed containment tends to decay with time due to naturally-occurring fission product retention mechanisms, a late containment failure due to MCCI

.(
generally results in modest source terms, relative to early failures.
For-gross mechanical failures of penetrations for piping,
- however, the' rela-tively large. expected-failure size assures a rapid blowdown of the initially available airborne fission products to the environment.
Fission products entering the containment atmosphere after the blowdown would experience
]
little driving force from the containment.
Thus, fission products evolved by long-term revaporization within the reactor vessel'would be subject to the naturally-occurring deposition mechanisms in the containment.
Fission i
products released ex-vessel during MCCI would also be subject to the same deposition mechanisms.
1 Basemat penetration by MCCI is a late containment failure mode that leads to a large failure area.
A rapid blowdown is not assured because the soil underneath the basemat provides an obstructed release path.
This also R
results in very different offsite consequences, relative to other contain-mont failure modes, because the release is to underlying soil rather than the atmosphere.
Soil provides a very effective fission product scrubbing mechanism, but a basemat failure can potentially contaminate the local water O-table.
For a wet sequence, the expected fission product source term would be i
reduced relative to a dry sequence due to the capture of fission product aerosols by the overlying pool and/or containment spray droplets.
2.2 Ernerimental Results A wide variety of molten debris-concrete interaction experiments have been performed at Sandia National Laboratory (SNL) and Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK).
In general, these experiments were undertaken to validate models and understanding of MCCI phenomenon. The SNL experiments considered either initially metallic or oxidic melts. Metalli experiments at SNL were usually performed with a stainless steel melt charge, while oxidic experi-ments were performed with a uranium dioxide and zirconium dioxide melt charge. Two SNL tests have employed both oxides and zirconium metal.
The KfK BETA series of experiments featured stainless steel and concrete oxide melt charges.

Sustained Heated Metallic Malt / Concrete Interaction with Overivinn Pool s
A schematic representation of the SWISS experimental apparatus is shown i
in Figure 2-1.
The SWISS experiments performed at SNL consisted of two test runs designed to obse rve the effect of an overlying pool on MCCI.
The l
l SWISS-1 test involved 99.2 lb (45 kg) of stainless steel initially at 3005.6 l
F (1925 K) inductively heated over a period of about 40 minutes with one 6
power-interruption (Blose, 1987).
An average of about 0.205 x 10 Bru/h (60 kW) net power was input to the melt charge by the induction source. About t
I 32 minutes after the melt was teemed into the crucible,- water was poured over the melt.
Erosion was essentially one-dimensional, downward into a 8.5 j
in (21.6 cm) diameter limestone common sand concrete plug, because a non-ablating MgO sidewall was used.
A value of 95099 Btu /h ft2 (300,000 W/m )
j 2
was suggested as an average sideward heat flux lost to the Mg0 crucible walls.
The concrete was a limestone-common sand variety essentially identi-
- cal to a default type used in the CORCON code [Muir, 1981]
and typical of
/
many U.S. plants.
Test SWISS-2 was similar to test SWISS-1 except that water was con-l i
tinuously poured onto the debris immediately after the melt teem, and two 2

j heat flux to the Mg0 sidewall was suggested on the sideward heat losses.

2.2.2 BETA:
Larre Scale Metal / Oxide Interaction Exneriments The BETA test series consisted of a series of large scale metallic melt l
experiments conducted at KfK research center ( Alsmeyer, 1986).
These ex-periments were originally conceived and designed to provide reliable experimental data for verification of severe accident programs, such as the 5
WECHSL code [Reimann, 1981].
i The BETA tests typically consisted of large, high temperature metallic
- melts, initially at 3632*F (2000*C) or higher, produced by thermite reac-tion.
These melts were usually poured into an instrumented siliceous concrete crucible of 15 in (0.38-m) inside diameter (see Figure 2-2)..

interactions were sustained by inductive heating.
The BETA experimental 6
facility has the capability to supply up to 6.48 x 10 Btu /h (1.9 MV) of inductive heating power, which allowed observations of the various physical and chemical processes occurring during molten melt concrete interactions for an extended period of time under quasi-steady state conditions.
Typical j
melt charges in the BETA tests were composed of 661.4 lba (300 kg) of steel and 330.7 lba (150 kg) of oxides.
The steel components typically included Fe, Cr, and Ni.
The oxides useu were aluminum oxide (Al O ),
silicon oxide
)
23 f
(SiO ), and in some cases calcium oxide (Cao).
Table 2-1 summarizes the 2
BETA experiments conducted over the span of two years, from 1984 to 1986.
The composition of the silicate concrete utilized in the experiments is somewhat similar to the basaltic concrete variety used in the United States.
1 BETA V3 series was an exception as it employed limestone common sand con-crete.
No fission product simulants were employed in any BETA tests, l
Major results of BETA tests are (Alsmeyer, 1987)):
1.
The temperature of the melt pool dropped rapidly from an initial temperature close to 3320.6 F (2100 K) to a temperature slightly above the mixture melting temperature, even when the inductive heating power was very high.
2.
The experiments are characterized by the dominance of downward erosion in high power tests, and to a lesser extent in low power tests.
3.
Dispersion or entrainment of the metal layer into an overlying oxide layer was observed in the high power tests.
It appears that the process of dispersion is driven by the high gas fluxes evolving from the concrete.
l 4
When Ca0 was added to the melt pool, no entrainment of metal into the
>xide layer was observed.
Apparently, Ca0 serves to lover the viscosity of the oxide layer, and thus, the metal-oxide layers remained stratified.
It is noted that all low l
power experiments resulted in separated metal and or.ide layers.

In the BETA V1.8 experiment, 6.48 x 10 Btu /h (1900 W), the highest net inductive heating power of the series was used, corresponding to an internal power density more than a factor of ten higher than that of decay power.
A melt charge composed of 771.6 lbm (350 kg) of steel (82%
Fe, 104 Cr, 8% Ni) and 286.6 lba (130 kg) of oxides (70% Al 0, 30% Cao), produced 23 by a thermite reaction, was poured into the interaction cavity at an initial temperature of 3266.6 F (2070 K).
The observed downward erosion rate was approximately 0.04 in/s (1 mm/s), resulting in a total eroded depth of about 15.75 in (40 cm) in 7 minutes.
Sideward erosion was stated as only a few centimeters (see Figure 2-3).
Experimental results showed that the chromium metal had oxidi::ed con -
pletely in about one minute, and hand calculations indicate that ga.:
evolving only from the concrete floor was insufficient for complete oxidt.-
tion of the chromium.
- Thus, gases released from decomposition of the sidewall must have entered the debris pool and contributed to chromium oxidation.

observed to be clearly separated from the metal The oxide layer was layer and well mixed with concrete slag, thus entrainment of metal into the 6
oxide layer was not observed.
In a similar high powered (~ 5.8 x 10 Beu/h) test V1.7 in which no Ca0 was added, complete entrainment of metal into the oxide resulted.
The BETA V2 series are low power experiments designed to investigate crust formation and its influence on the melt-concrete interaction. The l
i V2.1 test consisted of the melt charge composed of 661.4 lb (300 kg) steel (90% Fe, 10% Ni) and 330.7 lb (130 kg) oxides (70% Al 0 30% M0 ) initially 23 2
at 3632*F (2000*C).
The melt pool was sustained at an induced power of approximately 4.09 x 10 to 5.12 x 10 Btu /h (120 to 150 W) for more than 100 minutes.
This power level is representative of long-term decay power.
A total of about 13.78 in (0.35 m) downward and 3.94 in (0.10 m) sideward erosion was observed, with an average 0.0024 in/s (0.06 mm/s) downward erosion rate (see Figure 2-4).
In the experiment, sidevard erosion stopped at about 1000 seconds after a depth of 3.94 in (10 cm) was attained.

con-sisted of an Mgo annulus of 15.75 in (40-cm) inside diameter with a basaltic concrete plug at its base.
A schematic of the SURC 4 experimental apparatus is illustrated in Figure 2-5.
The test charge for SURC-4 consisted of 440,9 4
lb (200 kg) SS-304 (approximately 73% Fe, 19% Cr, 8% Ni) inductively-heated in the interaction crucible to approximately 2690.6 F (1750 K) prior to the onset of erosion.
Fission product simulants were employed to simulate r
fission product release, consisting of 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) Te, 2.58 lb (1.17 kg) of La 0, 2.71 lb (1.23 kg) Ce0, and 2.43 lb (1.1 kg) Bao.

the test charge for the duration of the test and a value of 31700 Btu /h-ft j

Because of the relatively inert nature of the Mg0 annulus sidewall to the molten debris, only one-dimensional downward erosion was possible. After quasi-steady concrete erosion was initiated, 44.1 Ib (20 kg) of zirconium were instantaneously added to the molten debris to observe the effect of oxidation.
Observed erosion was between 9.65 in to 10.83 in 5
(24.5 to 27.5 cm) of concrete.

The melt charge for SURC-3 [Bradley, 1987), composed of 110.2 lb (50 kg) of SS 304 (734 Fe, 196 Cr, 8% Ni), was inductively heated to ap-l proximately 3050.6 F (1950 K) prior to being teemed into the interaction crucible.
The interaction crucible consisted of an Mgo annulus of 7.87 in (20-cm) inside diameter and a limestone-common sand concrete plug base.
A schematic of the SURC-3 experiment apparatus is shown in Figure 2-6.

Because of the relatively inert nature of the Mgo annulus sidewall to the molten debris, only one-dimensional erosion was possible. After quasi-steady concrete erosion was initiated,-3.09 lb (1.4 kg)- of zirconium were instantaneously added to the molten debris.
Observed erosion was about 13.8 in (35 cm) of concrete.

-rv of Wunerimental Results In summary, we can compile the results from several experiments with different scales, different debris material masses and composition, and different power levels to develop a basis on which to provide a method for assessing MCCI and potential failure times (see Tables 2-3 and 2-4).
These data have been used to benchmark the core-concrete interaction models used here and in the MAAP code (DECO'P) [EPRI, 1990; Fauske & Associates, Inc.,
A 1990).
These data also provide a basis for estimating the fraction of the debris' downward heat flux to be 0.5 and for estimating the ratio of.
sideward to downward erosion to be 0.2.

2.3 Analytical Anoroaches Results of numerous predictions for the experiments described above have been reported in the literature. However, rather than discuss the results of all of these calculations, the principal computer codes used to obtain the results will be discussed.
The principal computer codes used for.
thermal-hydraulic calculations related to core-concrete interactions are
- CORCON, WECHSL, and DECOMP; the principal computer codes used for aerosol release calculations related to core-concrete interactions are VANESA-and MET 0XA.
2.3.1 00EOGK Sandia National Laboratory's CORCON [Muir, 1981] is incorporated in the NRC's MELCOR code [ Summers, 1990) and the Source Term Code Package (STCP)
[Cieseke, 1986). CORCON models the two-dimensional attack of concrete by core debris during severe accidents in light water reactors.
It assumes an immsdiate separation of the molten core into immiscible layers; namely, a metellic and an oxidic layer.

forms a second oxide layer.
The orientation of layers depends on their a configura-relative density.
During the early stage of concrete attack, tion of heavy oxide-metal-light oxide is possible.
As the MCCI proceeds, l
{
the heavy oxide layer is diluted by the molten concrete (slag) and even-point where the density of the heavy oxide layer is less tually reaches a than that of the metallic. At this time, the heavy oxidic and metallic layers are assumed to flip instantaneously, and the heavy oxidic layer combines with the light oxidic layer.
CORCON also assumes a gas film exists at the molten core / concrete interface. Heat transfer from the molten core l
pool to concrete is governed by the convective and radiative processes across the film.
In CORCON, the concrete ablation is calculated based on i
steady-state one-dimensional energy balance at the molten core / concrete interface.
The decomposition heat of concrete is calculated based on the user specified concrete decomposition temperature. Transient heat conduc-l tion into the concrete is not modeled.
CORCON also assumes that, upon solidification, crusts will form at one or more interfaces with the interior of the layer remaining liquid.
If part or all of a layer becomes frozen, energy can only be transferred by heat conduction through crusts, which is ordinarily far less effective than j
convection.
Because of internal heatin5 of debris and the fact that cooling cannot continue unless heat losses exceed sources, freezing is largely self-limiting.
A simple quasi-steady-state crust formation model was included in j
the CORCON code to calculate the thickness of the crust and the rate of heat transfer from the partially solidified core debris to concrete.
In order to i
model the crust formation process, some assumptions were made in CORCON to i
calculate the liquidus and solidus temperatures of the metallic and oxidic mixtures.
For the metallic mixture, a simple fit to the iron chromium-nickel ternary phase diagram was used.
The presence of metals other than Fe, Cr and Ni was ignored.
CORCON treats the oxidic mixture as a pseudo-j binary system in which the fuel oxides (UO2 + Zr0 ) f rm ne " component" and 2
concrete and steel oxides form the other: the two components are assumed to 1

concentrations defined by minimization of the Gibbs free energy for 38 chemical species composed of 11 elements.
Carbon is among the 38 species considered in the chemical reactions calculation of CORCON and therefore, the coking reactions are modeled by CORCON.
2.3.2 VECllSL
- WECHSL, KfK's stand-alone code
[Riemann, 1981),
models the two-dimensional concrete attack of the core debris during severe accidents in light water reactors.
It assumes the existence of an underlying metallic layer covered by an oxidic layer of fuel, metal oxides, and/or the concrete decomposition products.
Heat transfer from melt to concrete is modeled in analogy to boiling phenocena.
A film model, discrete bubble model, or transition boiling model for heat transfer are used according to the exist-ing gas flow and inclination of the interface.
When freezing processes become important due to cool-down of the melt,
/
crust formation is modeled starting from the melt / concrete interface and possibly resulting in a fully frozen layer.
Crusts are assumed to be perne-able to the gases.
Transient heat conduction into the concrete is not considered in the WECHSL code. The solidus and liquidus temperatures of the metallic mixture in the VECHSL code are calculated by a simple fit to a chromium nickel iron ternary phase diagram.
The same set of equations is used in the CORCON and WECHSL codes to predict solidus and liquidus tempera-tures of the metallic mixture.
In VECHSL, the liquidus and solidus temperatures of the oxidic mixture are determined either by a " binary" phase diagram or by a user input table.
In VECHSL, the gases released from the decomposing concrete may oxidize the constituents of the metal layer. The metal oxidation reactions take place in the order Zr, Cr, and then Fe.
This means that no Cr-oxidation is considered as lon8 as Zr is present in the melt, etc, The rate of oxidation i
for Cr and Zr is limited by the gas supplied from the concrete.
A tempera-ture dependent equilibrium constant is used to determine the oxidation rate of Fe.

2 23 2.3.3 DECONF DECOMP is a subroutine from the MAAP code [EPRI, 1990).
It considers the' debris to be either a solid cylinder or a molten pool surrounded by a
- crust, depending upon its energy.
Crust growth / shrinkage based on energy balance describes the solidification process occurring within the molten
- debris, and temperatures are determined from phase. diagrams based on the composition of the debris. Transient conduction calculations are carried out in the concrete floor, sidewall in contact with debris, and upper wall (surroundings), and concrete ablation is allowed in all heat slabs.
For the case that the debris is partially molten, the heat transfer coefficient at the molten pool / crust interface is a user defined constant.
The liquidus and solidus temperatures of the metallic phase of the mixture are determined as follows:
(i)
The CORCON fit to the iron-chromium-nickel ternary phase diagram is used to determine the liquidus and solidus of the O
steel mixture containing Fe, Cr and Ni.
(ii) The Fe-Zr binary phase diagram with Fe replaced by stainless steel is used to obtain the liquid and solidus temperatures of Zr-steel mixture.
l In DECOMP the treatment of liquidus and solidus temperatures of the oxidic phase is similar to the CORCON treatment of oxides.
The chemical reaction model of DECOMP considers chemical equilibrium by a Gibbs free energy minimization technique.
Chemical equilibrium is calcu-lated in METOXA, another subroutine from the MAAP code, by solving the algebraic relations for mass action and element balances..An ideal solution model is used with three phases:
liquid metal, liquid oxides and 5ases.
Non-ideality is allowed for some compounds through user-input activity coefficients.
A Newton-Raphson technique is employed with a reduced set of algebraic relations, known as basis equations.
The equations are solved to yield the molar abundances of particular species important to a stable,

2.3.4 VANESA The VANESA code calculates the release of fission products and struc-tural material during MCCI. VANESA models the vaporization of melt species into gases which are produced from concrete decomposition.
The ther-mochemistry and kinetics of this process are modeled mechanistically.
As the gases exit the melt, aerosol formation from bubbles breaking the melt surface and from the condensation / nucleation of vapors is modeled empiri-cally.
The corium is modeled as a layered two-phase system; an oxidic layer above a dense metallic layer which is in contact with the concrete basemat.
The reaction of CO and HO with the maj or metallic constituents are 2

This oxygen poten-

tial is assumed to hold for the oxide phase and is used to calculate the s
equilibrium vapor pressures of species in the M 0-H ternary phase diagram where M is the element of interest.
The chemical species considered in the VANESA code are given in [ Lee, 1985).
A kinetic analysis, which considers condensed phase transport, transport across the gas / melt interface and gas phase transport, is then performed to estimate the amount of material trans-ferred from the melt to gas bubbles.

3.0 MET 110D01DGY The aggressive attack on concrete by molten core debris may lead to a late containment failure if actions are not taken to cover the debris with water and thereby arrest the attack.
Even with the appropriate response, deep core debris beds may not be coolable.
In (NRC, 1988), the NRC states that experimental evidence exists that suggests core debris beds with depths greater than 9.84 in (25 cm) may not be coolable.
A simple, stand-alone calculation procedure is included in the method to estimate containment failure time due to MCCI.
Although MAAP, or a comparable integral code, should be used to address all aspects of MCCI for a sequence (including non-condensable gas generation, ex-vessel fission product release, etc.),
the method provided here can be used to estimate containment failure time due to concrete erosion for basic sequences.
The procedure outlined here has three advantages:
(1) it obviates lengthy MAAP
(]
- runs, (2) it provides a convenient means of investigating ablation phenomena, and (3) it is scrutable to independent reviewers.
In the event the debris is not coolable, the calculation method to be used to determine the possibility of containment failures caused by molten core-concrete interaction is based on the following simplifying assumptions:
Erosion of the upper portion of the cavity wall by radiative heat transfer is negligible compared to the direct attack of the core debris.
Erosion proceeds equally at all locations covered by debris.
Zirconium is the only important source of chemical energy in the core debris.
The ratio of the rates of advance of sidevard and downward concrete attack is constant.
O
32 The evaluation method consists of the following steps:
Step 1:
Define failure criteria for basemat and reactor cavity walls.
l t
Step 2:
Determine the time required for the concrete attack by j
core debris released from reactor vessel to exceed the most limiting failure criterion identified in Step 1.
'i Step 3:
Based on extent of concrete attack, select the ap-propriate treatment of containment failure caused by molten core concrete interaction.
3.1 Sten 1:
Define Failure Criteria Core debris-concrete interaction is hypothesized to be able to cause containment failure either by penetrating the cavity floor,
- liner, and basemat or, by weakening the reactor vessel supports sufficiently that the O
reactor vessel and attached piping move and tear out associated penetrations through the containment.
For the latter failure type, the failure criterion must account for the weakening of the cavity wall as this wall's thickness decreases due to erosion, as well as the associated weakening of the wall l
due to the dehydration of the concrete that-ocr:urs ahead of the erosion i
front.
The-criterion for failure of the cavity wall may be stated function-ally as follows:
i i
, it {1 - f ] x (3-1) x y

where:
x,,, - total concrete erosion in the sideward direction, ft, x - width of the cavity wall, ft, p

g stresses in the containment wall by about a factor of two and would repre-i sent. removal of design margin corresponding to a safety factor less than two in. the original design (since the dehydration front slightly decreases the f

Failure Criterion The calculation method presented below is based on [Plys, 1987].
Typical values for data required by the calculation are provided in Table 3-1.
The calculation proceeds in a piecewise continuous fashion to account for changes in the governing phenomena as time passes.
The first phase of the erosion process is considered to be an interval during which unoxidized zirconium in the core debris is assumed to react with steam and carbon dioxide liberated by the concrete erosion.
During the second phase of the erosion process, the chemical reaction energy is considered negligible and the concrete decomposition enthalpy reduced to reflect the assumed lack of chemical reactions.
The calculation method proceeds by determining whether containment failure would be predicted to occur before the zirconium in the core debris bed is depleted.
If containment failure occurs first, then the time at which containment failure would occur is obtained by a straightfor-ward calculation.
If zirconium depletion would occur first, then the i
calculation procedure becomes more complicated.

A reach zirconium depletion is determined.
Then, an iterative calculation is required to determine the predicted depth of concrete erosion corresponding to zirconium depletion.
Finally, the additional concrete mass that must be eroded to cause containment failure and its corresponding time interval must be determined.
To determine whether containment failure would be predicted to occur before zirconium depletion occurs, the masses of concrete that would be eroded at these times are calculated and compared. To estimate the mass of concrete that has been eroded when the zirconium is completely oxidized, the number of moles of zirconium available for reaction (N ) must be deter-mined:

41 4.0 FIANT-SPECIFIC APPLICATION 4.1 Issues 4.1.1 NCCI Failure Criterion (Sten 1)
Examination of Farley Nuclear Plant shows that containment failure at containment penetrations, caused by erosion of the cavity walls and _the embedded structural steel columns (Figure 4-1) that support the reactor vessel, will not occur as early as the meltthrough of the base mat.
Core debris of about 1 ft depth (see Equation (4-1) for this estimation) would accumulate on the cavity floor at the 80' elevation assuming that it is not swept out of the cavity.
At this depth, the debris will begin to erode sideways into the containment foundation and away from the center of the containment, as well as downward, but at a much faster rate, into the con-tainment foundation.
As the corium erodes the concrete in a sideward
~'\\
direction, it can travel a fair distance without compromising the ability of
[Y the cavity walls to support the vessel and its associated piping.
This is-because of the massive a ount of concrete in the cavity walls relative to a small sidevard erosion d.
_nce.
Failure of the vessel support at the 120' elevation, which is 40 ft higher than the debris pool, would require sidevard erosion of a large fraction of the concrete cavity vall thickness (the cavity is 5 ft thick along the cavity keyway but 9.8 ft thick below the reactor vessel).
The thickness of the cavity floor is 1.1 ft and the basemat thickness is 7.75 ft.
The downward erosion distance required for the containment failure is, therefore, 8.85 ft (2.7 m).
This distance is comparable to the sideward erosion distance required for containment failure.
It is not possible for the corium to travel such a distance sidewards without first penetrating through the entire basemat because the sideward rate of erosion would be much less than the downward rate of ero-sion, as demonstrated by the experimental evidence discussed above, basemat penetration is, therefore, the MCCI failure criterion for the Farley cavity configuration.

4.1.2 Tf== Interval to Exceed the Failure Criterion (St R_21 f
i The time to exceed the failure criterion is determined by the procedure outlined above, subject to a key assumption the entire core, with its full initial inventory of zirconium and fission products, is expelled instan-taneously at the start of the time interval.
Vessel failure and core-concrete attack can be delayed for many hours after reactor shutdown if the operator can remove decay heat via the secondary side heat sinks or inj ec -
tion with either charging pumps or low head safety injection pumps. By neglecting potential mitigating operator actions, the decay heat of the debris and the heat transfer to the concrete are overstated. The expulsion of molten debris from the failed vessel would take some finite. time period that depends upon vessel pressure at the time of failure. However, for a PVR, this time period is small when compared to the duration for core-concrete attack (many hours, or even days), so it can be thought of as instantaneous.
Although some fraction of the core could remain cooled in-vessel while the bulk of the core is expelled, it is convenient'to make the conservative assumption that the entire core is expelled with its full initial inventory of fission products and zirconium. In many accident sequences, a substantial fraction of the zirconium can be oxidized in-vessel, as much as, say, 504, as opposed to being exidized during corium-concrete attack. This potentially decreases the duration of the zirconium oxidation phase and slows corium.
concrete attack overall, since the chemical energy of the corium is
]
decreased.
This possibility is not considered here. Moreover, a substantial fraction of the the core's initial fission product inventory will not reside in the corium attacking the basemat.
Fission products are distributed j
throughout the primary system and containment compartments in a manner that depends upon the severe accident progression. Volatile fission products initially present in the corium can be vaporized or entrained to form 1
aerosols which are transported throughout the containment. The net effect of j
these mechanisms is to reduce the mass of fission products and decay heat in the corium as it attacks the cavity floor.

1991).

In
- addition, this calculation uses the assumption that none of the debris has been swept out of the cavity and dispersed into the lower cor'artment. This overstates MCCI in the cavity and it is clearly conservative for the case j
where the cevity is initially dry.
The cavity floor is modeled as a rectangle to avoid the necessity of dealing with the complexities of the actual geometry.
This is achieved by maintaining the perimeter and the area of the modeled rectangle the same as j

Othar parameters required for the procedure, such as the ratio of sideward rate of erosion to downward rate of erosion (r,) and the fraction of core debris power to concrete (f ), are derived from the experimental q
evidence cited above. The choice of values for these parameters is discussed below.
-i i
A ratio of the sideward rate of erosion to the downward rate of erosion must be specified based on the BETA experiments and engineering judgment.
Clearly, the lower bound for r, of zero will result in the maximum downward erosion rate.
- Also, the downward erosien area will remain constant during the attack for an r, of zero, resulting in very simple expressions for ancn' i
If r,
is assumed to be zero, an extremely conservative containment failure

time can be quickly estimated by hand.

small values of r, greatly increase containment failure
- However, even time relative to the r, - O assumption because f, is made larger than 1. The assumption that r,
- 0 is quite convenient, but it results in unrealisti-cally conservative answers.
Experimental evidence suggests that the ratio
~
of erosion rates is non zero, but much less than one.
From Table 2-4, the BETA experiments indicate an r, of 0.05 for the V1.8 test and 0.29 for the l
V2.1 test.
The V2.1 test was scaled to reflect long-term decay heat, in contrast to the V1.8 test which reflects a heat generation rate an order of magnitude larger than d cay heat. As a result, 0.2 will be used as a value for r,.
The fraction of core debris bed power assumed to enter the concrete (f ) must also be specified. A value of 1 is overly conservative because it q
neglects radiation and/or convection heat transfer from the the top surface of the debris, while a value of 0, on the other extreme, denotes no concrete attack.
It is assumed f is zero, i.e., MCCI is not a relevant containment failure mechanism, if a deep overlying pool of water can be maintained on the debris.
- [his assumption is based on experimental results demonstrating the ability of water to rapidly quench molten debris and ingress into debris beds to maintain them coolable indefinitely. If the pool cannot be main-tained, MCCI will begin after the pool has dried out.
t Note that this assumption reduces the complexities of innumerable severe accident sequences to just one consideration - is the debris covered by a deep overlying pool for an indefinite duration? If not, f - 0.5, based q
on the methodology of [Fauske & Associates, 1985).
The following section considers which accident sequences will not have an overlying pool. The value of f would actually vary from sequence to sequence as a function of accident progression and operator actions. Similarly, for a given severe accident sequence, f would be a function of time due to operator actions, j
9 accident progression, fission product transport, etc. For now, we focus on
.j the simple " dry" case where f has a constant value of 0.5 after debris bed q
dry-out.

Even in those cases where a water

pool cannot be maintained (due to equipment failure, operator error, etc.),
MCCI will not-begin until the debris bed has dried out.
The Farley contain-ment design prevents any water from spilling into the cavity from the lower compartment, and dry out will occur after the remaining water in the lower head, expelled at reactor vessel failure, has boiled away.

Therefore, t Substituting these values into the code developed specifically to i

Farley containment as a result of molten core-concrete interaction, P
For the dry cavity case, a station blackout is considered because ECCS and containment heat removal systems will be inoperative. In an SBO, MCCI will begin s'.tortly after reactor vessel failure, but the containment will also pressurize as the containment atmosphere is directly heated by the debris or As steam is generated by any debris which has been entrained to the lower compartment.
Containment pressurization by steaming in the lower

recovery actions could be taken to halt the ablation by covering the debtis with subcooled water.
The wet cavity case is any sequence where ECCS injection and contain-ment heat removal are available to keep the debris bed covered. Iow pressure recirculation with RHR heat exchangers operating could be used to cover the l
49 p(
debris via the vessel hole, and remove decay heat from the containment. If low pressure recirculation were available, however, core damage would not have occurred in the first place, so this means of arresting MCCI is con-sidered only as a possible recovery action.
In addition to pressure suppression functions, containment fan coolers will condense steam and thereby maintain a supply of water to cover the debris orovided that water can find its way from the lower comoartment to the cavity.
Containment failure due to MCCI is precluded for the wet case because of the ability of water to quench molten debris and insress into debris beds to render them coolable.
If a pessimistic view of ingression is taken for the wet case (: hat is, ingression cannot occur) calculations could be per.
formed, just as teey were performed for the dry case, by selecting an appropriate power fraction into the concrete (f ). However, these calcula-tions would show failure times of hundreds of hours, and we would therefore revert back to the same conclusions as the dry case.
p 4.1.3 Uncertainty Considerations The results presented above are subject to uncertainties.
In par-ticular, the fraction of core decay heat power (f )
is subject to large q
uncertainty as a result of two considerations:
(1) the heat transfer mechanisms from the debris by radiation and convection to overlying water or
- gas, and, (2) the transport of volatile fission products from the debris by vaporization and/or entrainment to other parts of the containment. The decay heat power fraction to the concrete was taken from [Fauske & Associates, 1985), but no effort was made to account for fission product release from the debris. Fission product release is now accounted for in a simple manner to scope out its potential impact and demonstrate the conservatisms of the aforementioned results.
This phenomenon essentially decreases the fraction of decay heat power to the concrete, so fission product release in the cavity can be addressed by varying the parameter f.
Fission product release and transport is dependent upon severe accident progression, timing, operator actions, etc.
A few KAAP runs can be examined to find a range for the fraction of decay heat energy removed from the I
T

)
OV debris by transport of volatile fission products.
This will improve the accuracy of f. The MAAP User's Manual (Fauske & Associates, 1990) contains q
input decks and tabular output for three runs made with the " Zion like" parameter file: a station blackout with no operator actions, a small LOCA without the recirculation mode, and a large LDCA without the recirculation mode. Tabular output for each of these runs gives the fraction of core decay heat in the cavity at various times. For the blackout. case, 39% of the decay heat is in the cavity at 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> into the accident, 32% is in the lower compartment, and 294 is in the form of released fission products. For the large LOCA, 72% of the decay heat is in the cavity at 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> into the accident and 28% is in the form of released fission products. And finally, for the small LOCA, 71% of the decay heat is in the cavity at 44 hours5.092593e-4 days <br />0.0122 hours <br />7.275132e-5 weeks <br />1.6742e-5 months <br /> and 29%
is in the form of released fission products, Based upon these examples, it seems reasonable to assume that in the long term, 70%, rather than 100n, of the decay heat is in the cavity.
Calculations have been made assuming that the cavity floor could be O-opposed to the actual geometry which closely modeled as a rectangle, as resembles a rectangle placed next to a circle. The actual geometry is not far removed from a rectangle,
- and, perhaps, the initial cavity floor geometry may be " forgotten" as the melt attacks the concrete. As the debris attacks the concrete and spreads sideways at a uniform race, the debris geometry resembles the initial geometry less and less.
This leads to the supposition that as long as the initial floor area and the perimeter are accurate, the actual geometry of the cavity floor may not be significant.
Additional uncertainty considered here is the impact of the assumed constant erosion rate ratio (r,).
To simplify the calculation, r,
was assumed constant.
Furthermore, the average value of r, which was taken from experimental data ranges from 0.05 (in V1.8 test) to 0.29 (in V2.1 test) depending on the heat supply rate in the experiments. This differs by a factor of 6.
It is, therefore, important to take into accour -
the sen-sitivity of the containment failure time to r,.
In general, the smaller value of r, means more heat rate will be available to erode downward, the-reby reducing the failure time in the downward direction.
When r,- 0.1 is assumed in the calculation, the containment failure time for Farley i
4 11 i
l decreases to 52 hr provided that all other parameters remain the same.
The Farley containment failure time, predicted by the stand alone model,
's i
expected to be more conse rvative (i.e.,
earlier) than the failure time predicted by MAAP.
4.2 Conclusions The analysis presented here shows that MCCI can be excluded from con-sideration as a significant late containment failure mechanism.
This is not meant.to downplay the significance of MCCI in the Farley - Level 2 PRA, or suggest that containment failure due to concrete melt-through cannot occur under any circumstances.
Rather, it is clear that relative: to other con-tainment failure mechanisms, MCCI will occur so late in time that: (1) the more rapidly developing-o t,he r,
containment will have failed due to mechanisms, or (2) mitigating actions will almost surely have taken place to arrest MCCI before reaching the containment failure criterion of basemat melt-through.
- Also, relative to other failure mechanisms, the source term for a basemat melt through would be small because of the failure time (very
'~'
late) and location (below ground).

rate plus heat of chemical reactions.
. Only reaction heats from the downward attack are accounted.
. Sideward erosion speed is assumed a constant fraction of downward erosion speed (i.e., r, - U,/Ud

- e nstant).
The energy balance for the eroded concrete according to the first assumption may be written as:

p
- concrete density, Iba/ft A
-t tal erosion enthalpy, Btu /lba, including sensible heat to cn concrete melting, sensible heat to corium temperature, slag heat of fusion, and decomposition reactions.
U - erosion speed, ft/s, A = area, ft h
6 Q - input power, w, including decay power and chemical reactions, d - downward, i
s - sideward, i
