✦ Synopsis


A new concept of an in-vessel corium melt catcher is proposed. The lower part of an elongated reactor vessel, which is filled with a sacrificial material of a proper composition, porosity, and arrangement, is used as such a catcher. The concept accounts of the scientific and design experience with the development of the ex-vessel corium catcher for the Tyan'van NPP with VVER-1000 reactors.
