Benchmarking MELCOR's NAC Package to ABCOVE Tests AB5 and AB6
This report presents analyses of the AB5 and AB6 ABCOVE sodium spray fire experiments with the MELCOR code. This code simulates the progression of accident events for analysis and auditing purposes of nuclear facilities during accident conditions. Historically, the ABCOVE experiments have contributed to the validation of aerosol physics and related phenomena. Given advancements in sodium-cooled reactor designs, characterization of the sodium spray combustion may further the review and...
