Description

The "RASPLAV" complex is designed for experimental-calculation studies of local physico-chemical and thermal-hydraulic processes in corium melt in relation to the problem of its in-vessel containment and at the out-of-vessel stage (for example, nuclear reactor core melt traps). The complex can be used for experimental and computational studies of phase equilibria and stationary states in high-temperature systems, studies of degradation processes and interaction with high-temperature melts of NPP materials.

The complex was successfully used in development and substantiation of NPP corium melt localisation devices for Russian (VVER) and foreign (PWR, BWR, LWR) reactors. The RASPLAV complex consists of Rasplav-2, Rasplav-2C, Rasplav-3, Rasplav-4 and Rasplav-5 units, which use the technology of induction melting in a cold crucible (IMCP), allows to carry out studies of high-temperature melts containing radioactive substances and p...
