Spent fuel heatup following loss of water during storage

OSTI ID:5197905
;
This study addresses the type of spent fuel storage accident that has been hypothesized to be the most severe, i.e., one that leads to a complete drainage of the water from the pool. The objective is to analyze the thermal-hydraulics phenomena involved when the storage racks and their contents become exposed to air, and to determine the conditions that could lead to cladding failure due to overheating. 19 refs.
