  • More about Current Approaches to the Analysis of Design Extension Conditions with Core Melting for New Nuclear Power Plants

The publication focuses on collecting current practices in Member States related to design extension conditions (DECs) with core melting for new water cooled reactors. It discusses the regulatory perspective and technical rationale and attempts to find common practices and areas for harmonization of the main rules.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 168 pages
Publication date: 30 December 2021
Publisher: IAEA


The focus of this publication is on gathering current practices in Member States related to design extension conditions (DECs) with core melting. The information provided is based on the feedback from technical experts from Canada, France, Finland, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America. However, there is still no common understanding of DECs due to the complexity of phenomena and insufficient experimental data. This publication identifies current approaches of IAEA Member States with active nuclear power programmes and discusses the regulatory perspective and technical rationale. It attempts to find common practices and possible areas for harmonization of the main rules related to the analysis of DECs with core melting for new water cooled reactors, including their selection for the safety demonstration.
