Facility Details: CAIMAN

Organization / Localization: ASNR/CEA
Country: France
Facility Description: Small scale, high dose rate test facility to study iodine in containment, gas and aqueous phase
Test Identification: CAIMAN tests
SA-Related Topics / Phenomena: CAIMAN tests investigated the behavior of volatile iodine under gamma radiation and specifically the mass transfer of iodine in the containment conditions. Mass transfer sump to containment atmosphere and transfer to the steel or painted surfaces with and without condensation.
Measured Parameters: Iodine mass transfer sump to atmosphere, depletion and surfaces, steel, paint under radiation, dose rate
Modelling: iodine chemistry in the containment atmosphere during a severe nuclear accident, especially in pressurized water reactors (PWRs)
Simulation Code: ASTEC, MELCOR, MAAP, AC2
Experimental Research Program: CIAMAN, also ISP-41
Link to PIRT: WP-1.5 ST-26, ST-28, ST-42, ST-43, ST-44, ST-45, ST-46, ST-48
