Organization / Localization: Siempelkamp NT, AREVA Facility Description: Transient large-scale 2D MCCI experiments, melt generator (induction furnace) and test section with L-shaped concrete inlays Test Identification: 6 tests applying various concretes (siliceous, LCS, LL) , iron-oxide rich concrete, and concretes using high-temperature binder SA-Related Topics / Phenomena:Investigation of the interaction of metallic melts with different types of concrete at industrial scale (~1000 kg). Measured Parameters: Melt temperature, post test erosion profiles Modelling: Simulation Code: COSACO Experimental Research Program: CORESA Consortium (Siempelkamp NT, Battelle, RWTH Aachen, Siemens) / BMFT Link to PIRT: Objective: Investigation of candidates for the sacrificial concrete for use in EPR
