Sumario:Immediately after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi, Innovative Systems Software and other members of the international SCDAPDevelopment and Training Program started an assessment of the possible core/vessel damage states of the Fukushima DaiichiUnits 1–3. The assessment included a brief review of relevant severe accident experiments and a series of detailed calculationsusing RELAP/SCDAPSIM. The calculations used a detailed RELAP/SCDAPSIM model of the Laguna Verde BWR vessel and relatedreactor cooling systems. The Laguna Verde models were provided by the Comision Nacional de Seguridad Nuclear y Salvaguardias,the Mexican nuclear regulatory authority. The initial assessment was originally presented to the International Atomic EnergyAgency on March 21 to support their emergency response team and later to our Japanese members to support their FukushimaDaiichi speci¿c analysis and model development.
