Correlation for boron carbide helium release in fast reactors
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5167658
An empirical helium correlation for the helium release from boron carbide has been developed. The correlation provides a good fit to the experimental data in the temperature range from 800 to 1350/sup 0/K, and burnup levels up to 80 x 10/sup 20/ captures/cm/sup 3/. The correlation has the capability of extrapolation to 2200/sup 0/K (3500/sup 0/F) and 200 x 10/sup 20/ captures/cm/sup 3/. In this range the helium release rate will not exceed the generation rate.
