ASTEC V1.3 Code Assessment on the STORM Aerosols Mechanical REsuspension Test (A Fission Product Transport Study)

Abstract

The European severe accident analysis code ASTEC is assessed on the most representative STORM tests. Two aerosol resuspension modules are used to calculate the resuspended fraction of aerosols deposited in the primary circuit model of STORM facility. It was concluded thta concerning the final mass fraction and mainly the kinetics of aerosol resuspension in turbulent pipe flow conditions there is a need for further code assesment and for improvement of resuspension models implemented in the current version of SOP"HAEROS/ASTEC V1.3 code. This is under way in the Source Term area of the SARNET project.JRC.F.4-Nuclear design safet
