NUCLEAR AND THERMAL CALCULATIONS FOR WCAP-4 IN-PILE EXPERIMENT

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4168597· OSTI ID:4168597
A description of the nuclear and thermal analysis involved in the design of the WCAP-4 in-pile test is presented. Calculations reveal that no burn-out conditions are expected at the operating fluxes. Calculations of central core temperature and heat output are included. Various hot spot factor calculations for both non-local and local boiling conditions are also given. (J.R.D)
