Verification of the Efficacy of Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners in a Typical Pressurized Water Reactor under a Station Blackout Condition by Daegwang Hong, Donghyun Cho, Jinwoo Kim, Aya Diab, Cigdem Cildag

“…The presence of a stable stratified gas cloud inside the containment near or at the flammability limit may lead to deflagration or even detonation which may challenge the containment and cause a radioactive material release into the environment. To mitigate this risk, a number of approaches have been proposed, for example, containment inerting or venting and use of passive autocatalytic recombiners or igniters. …”
