29 Summary A simplified, generic AP1000-LIKE model has been developed using the integral severe accident code ASTEC V2.1 The model is evaluated using an accident scenario without AMM, leading to core degradation, simulating loss of flow to the reactor vessel under high pressure conditions. According to current results lower head failure occurs nearly four hours after the reactor SCRAM Approximately 800 kg of H 2 are produced, and approximately 150 tons of molten material form and relocate to the RPV lower plenum Page 29
30 Summary The impact of modeling upper vessel structures can be large. Thus, description of the upper vessel structures should be applied with caution in future. These preliminary code results show the applicability of the model for simulation of scenarios involving core degradation. Page 30
31 Future Work Implementation of AP1000-specific decay heat curve and radial/axial power profiles Include advanced materials data for AP1000-specific materials in the model Complete the AP1000 primary and secondary circuits and include all active and passive safety systems Long term goal is to estimate key grace periods relevant for core degradation under a variety of accident scenarios and with different AMM considerations with the aim to accurately characterize the progression of severe accidents in the AP1000 Page 31
