Investigation of axial-void-propagation velocity profiles in BWR fuel bundles. Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5342126
This report describes the method of measuring axial void propagation velocity in the core of an operating BWR. Experimental data obtained from the noise signals of LPRM (Local Power Range Monitor) and TIP (Traversing In-Core Probe) detectors are compared to calculated steam velocity and kinematic wave velocity profiles. 25 figures.
