Benchmark specifications and data requirements for EBR-II shutdown heat removal tests SHRT-17 and SHRT-45R
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
Argonne National Laboratory’s (ANL) Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) was a liquid metal reactor (LMR) with a sodium-bonded metallic fuel core that contributed very favorably to the reactor’s negative reactivity feedback. On June 20, 1984, a severe loss-of-flow test in the Shutdown Heat Removal Test (SHRT) series demonstrated the effectiveness of natural circulation in the EBR-II reactor. This test was SHRT-17 and at the beginning of the test the primary pumps were tripped at the same time as a full control rod insertion.
