Abstract
The effects of the mounting location of ICI cables on severe accident mitigation systems, specially IVR-ERVC (In-Vessel Retention by External Reactor Vessel Cooling) and core catcher (Ex-vessel corium retention and cooling system), are investigated. The effects of bottom-mounted ICI strategy on severe accident mitigation are summarized and advantages of top-mounted ICI to improve severe accident mitigation are also highlighted.
