BDBA (Beyond Design Basis Accidents) Master Course

The SACRE group offers the "Beyond Design Basis Accidents" course for students of the Nuclear Engineering Course at ETHZ. The course contains lessons about phenomenology of severe accidents, severe accident management, containment response and source term mitigation.
 

Lecture 1
Historical overview of accidents in nuclear installations

Lecture 2
Core heat-up, cladding rupture and oxidation; essentially intact core reflooding

Lecture 3
Early phase core degradation and degraded core reflooding

Lecture 4
Core melting, relocation and late phase interactions in reactor vessel; vessel failure and corium ejection

Lecture 5
In- and ex-vessel molten fuel coolant interaction

Lecture 6
Spent fuel pool accidents, H2 generation, FP release

Lecture 7
Molten corium and concrete interaction and gas and aerosol release

Lecture 8
Containment thermal-hydraulics and H2 distribution; risk of deflagration/detonation, mitigation systems

Lecture 9
Fission product release from fuel, aerosol formation, transport in reactor coolant system

Lecture 10
Fission product behaviour in containment; aerosol transport/deposition, iodine chemistry

Lecture 11
In- and ex-vessel corium retention

Lecture 12
Severe Accident Management and Mitigation on current NPPs

Lecture 13
Fukushima

Lecture 14
Consequences of severe accidents; health and land contamination, public opinion, nuclear programmes

Lecture 15
Analytical Techniques for Simulation of Beyond Design Basis Accidents
