PFB-CANDU Fuel Element LOCA Test experiment operating specification. Revision 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5491451
This document describes the experiment operating specifications for the PBF-CANDU Fuel Element LOCA Test to be conducted in the Power Burst Facility (PBF) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). The PBF-CANDU Fuel Element LOCA Test is sponsored jointly by Ontario Hydro and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL). Objectives are to provide an in-reactor evaluation of CANDU fuel element thermal-mechanical behavior during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident, and provide an experimental data base for evaluation of the transient fuel behavior code, ELOCA.
