Nuclear fuel rod response during LOFT tests L2-2 and L2-3. [PWR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5917252
Comparisons of the measured fuel rod peak cladding temperatures for the first two nuclear loss-of-coolant experiments (LOCE), LOCEs L2-2 and L2-3, are presented. These LOCEs were performed in the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The LOCEs provided a basis for evaluating the effect of initial power on the maximum cladding temperatures during a large break (200%, guillotine) LOCE and identified important core thermal-hydraulic responses that influence the peak cladding temperatures.
