Work in the area of post-failure phenomena in LMFBR TOP accidents is reported. Several different TOP-related topics are treated, including radial dependence of transient fission gas behavior in LMFBR pins; modeling of flowing-sodium pin failure tests in TREAT; gas plenum region pressurization due to sodium vaporization; and the effect of ejection rates of molten fuel from pins on the potential for extensive subassembly voiding.
