    The performance of waste packages containing high-level nuclear wastes at underground repositories such as the potential repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, depends, in part, on the thermodynamic environment immediately surrounding the buried waste packages. For example, degradation of the waste packages can be caused by corrosive and microbial processes, which are influenced by both the relative humidity and temperature within the emplacement drifts. Gansemer and Lamont cite a critical relative humidity of 70-75%, above which a water film may form on the container surface to initiate pitting and subsequent corrosion. Therefore, appropriate models of thermal and fluid transport near themore » waste package are necessary to predict the thermodynamic environment and performance of the waste packages. However, past models and simulations of the near-field at Yucca Mountain have made simplifying assumptions with regards to the thermal and fluid transport near the waste packages. Convection in an empty drift is often ignored, and radiation from the waste packages to the drift wall is usually lumped into an effective thermal conductivity of the air surrounding the waste packages. In this paper, the effects of conduction, convection, and radiation are investigated for a heat-generating waste package in an empty drift. Simulations explicitly modeling radiation from the waste package to the drift wall are compared to simulations using only conduction. Temperatures, relative humidities, and vapor mass fractions are compared at various locations within the drift. In addition, the effects of convection on relative humidity and moisture distribution within the drift are presented.« less

    The transient energy transfer following a sudden contact between molten UO/sub 2/ and sodium has been investigated, taking into consideration both conduction and internal thermal radiation in UO/sub 2/. Analytical expressions for the contact-interface temperature valid for small times are derived. Illustrative calculations indicate that on a time scale relevant to fuel-coolant interactions, internal radiation of molten UO/sub 2/ should have an insignificant effect on the contact-interface temperature between molten UO/sub 2/ and sodium. It thus appears that for the purpose of assessing the potential for an explosive fuel-coolant interaction, the contact-interface temperature may be adequately determined based on considerationmore » of pure conduction.« less

    Heat transfer by simultaneous conduction and radiation in a thermal radiation absorbing and emitting medium is considered. Consideration is given to a one-dimensional system consisting of twos diffuse, nonblack, infinite, isothermals parallel plates separated by a finite distance. The space between the plates is filled with a thermal radiation absorbing and emitting medium. The problem is formulated in terms of a nonlinear integro-differential equation and the solution is obtained by reducing it to a nonlinear integral equation. The numerical results are obtained by an iterative method. The temperature distri butions and heat transfer are calculated. Two approximate methods for formulatingmore » radiant heat-transfer problems are presented and comparisons of the resuits are made with the most exact solution.« less
