General discussion of thermal hydraulic phenomenon present in sodium fast reactors during known reactor transients. Specifically, this research focuses on presenting research focused on modeling thermal stratification in the upper plenum of a sodium fast reactor. An experimental facility was built to provide validation for both computational fluid dynamic and system code analysis.
