Empirical correlations are used to calculate the conditions for the appearance of a crisis of heat transfer in the core of a water-cooled reactor under normal operating conditions or during accidents. Experimental data obtained on models which simulate, to one degree of another, the geometry, the operating parameters, and the form of the radial energy-release field in real fuel assemblies are used to develop and verify such recommendations.
