UO/sub 2/ aerosol release from pools of sodium
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6246805
Experiments in ORNL's Fuel Aerosol Simulant Test (FAST) facility measure the release of UO/sub 2/ aerosols from sodium pools to assess the potential release of fuel aerosols from LMFBRs following hypothetical core disruptive accidents (HCDAs). In nine undersodium experiments recently completed, aerosol concentrations in the cover gas were lower than concentrations in Wright's underwater experiments. Analysis of heat transfer between the UO/sub 2/ and pool reveals that greater subcooling and higher thermal diffusivity of sodium are responsible for reductions in aerosol concentrations.
