Modeling of Reinforced Concrete for Reactor Cavity Analysis under Energetic Steam Explosion Condition

Background: Steam explosions may occur in nuclear power plants by molten fuel–coolant interactions when the external reactor vessel cooling strategy fails. Since this phenomenon can threaten structural barriers as well as major components, extensive integrity assessment research is necessary to ensu...
