Long-Term Cooling of an SBLOCA: Boron Precipitation in the Core, Boron Dilution in the Steam Generators

When soluble boron is used to control reactivity, there are two particular events which can challenge long-term core cooling (LTCC) during the small break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA): boron precipitation and boron dilution. The initial consequences of the SBLOCA are mitigated by the emergency...
