Background ‐ Scope• ALLEGRO 75MW is under development in the frame of V4 countries (Cz,SL,HU,PL)
• NUBIKI Share: Severe accident calculations
• MELCOR selection has been based on:• Capability to calculate with gas only• Experiment post‐test recalculations (HeFus)• Compare to Cathare (steady‐state and DBC)• ALLEGRO DBC and BDBC calculations
• Main goals – study processes in ALLEGRO gas cooled reactors:• Severe accident thermal hydraulics• Fission product transport• Establish accident management procedures

• 10 inch LOCA SA accident with N2 accu and DHR connected but with loss of water in DHR(loss of heat sink)
• Insulated surfaces:• Reactor vessel wall• DHR system downcomer• Guard Vessel wall and cap• Core boundary HS
• Primary circuit disconnected after LOCA onset

Allegro 75 MW – BDBA accidentsSevere Accidents – conclusions
12
• Main reasons of very delayed LH failure:• Low power of the reactor• Relatively small core and a lot of surrounding metal• Reflector and shielding above the core provide steel to
be heated up stabilizing the core nodes temperature for a long time

• All aerosols remain deposited in Prim.circ+GV+DHR Hx
• however
• After vessel failurea surge of airborneaerosols (like: Cs)to GV appears
• Reason forsurge is atemperature surge

Allegro 75 MW –MELCOR Experience
17
• MELCOR 2.2 managed to calculate ALLEGRO cooled rector SA
• Code often crashed after RPV failure at start of core-concrete interaction
• Typical user error was a small T/H mass with heat source resulting in over 10000 K temperature
• How is the Cs modeled if no water is available in the system?
