Abstract
In order to meet the needs of domestic reactor severe accident analysis program, a MIDAC (Module Invessel Degraded severe accident Analysis Code) is developed and maintained by Xi'an Jiaotong University. As the accuracy of the calculation results of the analysis program is of great significance for theformulation of severe accident mitigation measures, the article select three experiments to evaluate theupdated severe accident models of MIDAC. Among them, QUENCH-06 is the international standardNo.45, QUENCH-16 is a test for the analysis of air oxidation, and FROMA is an out-of-pile fuel rod meltingexperiment recently carried out by Xi'an Jiaotong University. The heating and melting model withlumped parameter method and the steam oxidation model with Cathcart-Pawel and Volchek-Zvonarevcorrelations combination in MIDAC could better meet the needs of severe accident analysis. Although theinfluence of nitrogen still need to be further improved, the air oxidation model with NUREG still has theability to provide guiding significance for engineering practice
