Report on Year-2 of Water NSTF Matrix Testing
Abstract
Under support from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Office of Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART), a large scale test facility has been constructed at Argonne National Laboratory to generate NQA-1 qualified validation data for passive decay heat removal systems of advanced reactors. The Natural convection Shutdown heat removal Test Facility (NSTF) reflects key features of a ½ scale, water-based, Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) and is intended to study the behavior, bound performance, and ultimately guide design decisions for passive decay heat removal systems for advanced reactors. Since the facility also retains all aspects common to a fundamental boiling water thermosiphon, the generated experimental data sets are well poised to advance the understanding of fundamental natural circulation boiling and two-phase flow phenomena.
