Nuclear safety in light water reactors: Severe accident phenomenology

---

The idea of documenting the advances achieved in the field of light water reactor severe accident safety research in the form of a book originated during the development of the research program for the Severe Accident Research Network of Excellence (SARNET), coordinated by IRSN France, that was started in March 2004, under the auspices of the Sixth Framework Research Program of the European Commission. After some discussion, it was decided that the book should be a textbook for students and young researchers in the field and not a handbook. It was also decided that the book should not be a compendium of all the research in the field, but rather should be written to impart understanding and knowledge about the complex physics of severe accidents. The physics of severe accidents involves several disciplines, including probability theory, neutron physics, thermal hydraulics, high-temperature material science, chemistry, and structural mechanics. Thus, imparting understanding and knowledge of severe accidents is not a simple task. It is nonetheless an important task in reactor safety, since a severe accident is the only source of risk to the public from an operating light water reactor power plant. Preventing and managing the consequences of a severe accident, which is the main goal of severe accident research, contributes greatly to reducing the public risk of nuclear power.
