Analysis of Steam Explosion under Conditions of Partially Flooded Cavity and Submerged Reactor Vessel

A steam explosion in a reactor cavity makes a mechanical load of the pressure pulse, which can result in a failure of the containment isolation. To prove the integrity of the containment during the ex-vessel steam explosion, the effects of water conditions on a steam explosion have to be identified,...
