Debris bed experiment No. 4: a preliminary look. [LMFBR]
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5424210
The experiment described is the fourth in a series of experiments designed to provide quantitative information on the behavior of debris beds formed from reactor materials following a core-melt accident. The D-series of experiments utilizes liquid sodium, particulate UO/sub 2/ (and in later experiments, stainless steel) to form debris beds which are fission heated, within the ACRR, to simulate fission-product heating of debris beds. The data obtained from the experiments will provide the basis of debris bed modeling in order to ascertain containment requirements.
