The development of Module In-vessel degraded severe accident Analysis Code MIDAC and the relevant research for CPR1000 during the station blackout scenario

To meet the domestic demand of software autonomous scheduling, Xi'an Jiaotong University had developed MIDAC (a Module In-vessel degraded severe accident Analysis Code) which can not only analyze the processes of in-vessel severe accident, but also provide the related results of each one. This code was composed of five modules: the early behavior module, the core degradation module, the debris bed module, the melting materials IVR module and the connecting module. In this paper, the basic mathematic-physical models of those modules were briefly introduced. Then, the CPR1000 station blackout scenario severe accident was set as an example to calculate the primary system thermal-hydraulic transient, the core degradation and the debris behavior, as well as the creep rupture of heat structures in primary loop pressure boundary. At last, the accuracy of MIDAC was verified in partial comparison with SCDAP/RELAP5 in primary system thermal-hydraulic transient analyzing part.
