Simulation of hydrogen deflagrations with the lumped parameter code COCOSYS

In case of a postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) in a light water reactor, core degradation might occur if emergency measures fail. During this process a large amount of hydrogen might be generated by the oxidation of zirconium in the fuel rod cladding with steam. If the hydrogen leaks into t...
