ORTCAL: a code for THTF heater rod thermocouple calibration. [PWR]
Presented are an experimental thermocouple calibration procedure and a four-part calibration program, ORTCAL (ORNL Thermocouple Calibration), which supplies heater rod performance information to the inverse heat conduction code ORINC. Case studies are presented to illustrate the effect of noncalibration of fuel pin simulators on the inverse calculations.
