Simulation of hydrogen distribution in an Indian Nuclear Reactor Containment

▶ This work addresses hydrogen dispersion in commercial nuclear reactor containment. ▶ The numerical tool used for simulation is first benchmarked with experimental data. ▶ Parametric results are then carried out for different release configurations. ▶ Results lead to the conclusion that the dispersal is buoyancy dominated. ▶ Also, the hydrogen concentration is high enough to demand mitigation devices.
