Core Flow Test Loop (CFTL) program

OSTI ID:6209865
The Core Flow Test Loop (CFTL) is the out-of-pile thermohydraulic and structural test bed for the Gas-Cooled Fast Reactor (GCFR) core assemblies. The assemblies are simulated with appropriately configured bundles of electrically heated rods called fuel and blanket rod simulators (FRS and BRS). The FRS and BRS which simulate accurately the GCFR fuel and blanket rods from the cladding outward have internal thermocouples to measure the cladding temperaure.
