In-vessel instrumentation for high-temperature transient two-phase flows

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5658680

A program was initiated in 1977 to develop instrumentation for measurement of in-vessel local fluid phenomena in safety experiments designed to investigate the refill and reflood phases of the PWR loss-of-coolant accident. Objective is to develop techniques and systems for measuring fluid flow in-core, deentrainment in the upper plenum, liquid fallback from the upper plenum into the core, and flow across the core-upper plenum interface.
