Central Receiver Test Facility as a simulator for the hydrogen-burn thermal environment
Conference

OSTI ID:5967732
The use of a solar energy facility to simulate the thermal environment produced as a result of hydrogen burns in a full-scale reactor containment building is described. Using a flux profile generated by the HECTR computer code, the Central Receiver Test Facility has produced a temperature rise in a test specimen that closely approximates that predicted by the code. A method for simulating multiple burns associated with the activation of safety ignition systems during a hydrogen-producing accident is also described and preliminary results of tests of safety equipment exposed to such a multiple burn simulation are discussed.
