GE post-test analysis of SLSF experiment W-1 through LOPI-4. [LMFBR]
SLSF experiment W-1 was designed to investigate fuel pin-to-coolant heat transfer during various LMFBR flow-coastdown events in the burnup interval from 0.0 atom percent to 0.5 atom percent. In the study reported here, data from in-fuel thermocouples and coolant (wire-wrap) thermocouples were evaluated during steady-state and transient operation from the beginning of the experiment through LOPI-4 (Loss-of-Piping-Integrity Transient Number 4). The objective of the data evaluation was to determine how maximum coolant temperatures during successive LOPI transients were affected by burnup. A second objective was to identify the mechanisms responsible for this burnup effect.
