Working Group on Analysis and Management of Accidents (WGAMA)

The main mission of this working group is to advance the current understanding of the physical processes and address the safety issues associated with the following areas:

• Reactor coolant system thermal-hydraulics and related safety and auxiliary systems;

• In-vessel behaviour of degraded cores and in-vessel protection;

• Containment behaviour and containment protection; phenomena-based validation matrix for ex-vessel (containment) models and codes (Containment-CVM);
  

• Fission product release, transport, deposition and retention.

Both current and advanced reactors are to be considered.
