Steam-water explosion, energy released

Energy Released from a Steam-Water Explosion... [Pg.178]

The very rapid energy release at Chernobyl is thought to have caused a massive, explosive release of steam as the very hot fuel was quenched by the water. However, the reactor did not explode in a nuclear explosion in the way that an atomic bomb explodes. The power pulse in Chernobyl was terminated because the fuel was dispersed by the very rapid heating. In an... [Pg.21]

Considering various assumptions on the fall of corium in water within the vessel, it can be concluded that only 2 per cent of the entire mass takes part in the explosion. Therefore, for steam explosions within the vessel, the value of the energy released may range from 45 MJ to 330 MJ. [Pg.405]
