PBF-CANDU fuel element LOCA test: experiment specification document

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5338693
The objectives of the PBF-CANDU Fuel Element LOCA tests are to: (1) provide an in-reactor evaluation of CANDU fuel element thermal-mechanical behavior during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident, and (2) provide an experimental data base for evaluation of the transient fuel behavior code, ELOCA. The purpose of this document is to provide a preliminary identification of the fuel, test train, instrumentation, and PBF operational requirements for performance of the PBF-CANDU LOCA test.
