A thermal analysis was performed on a LOFT drag disc turbine (DTT) for a nuclear LOCE. Thermal gradients through the DTT shroud and turbine body, and temperature differences between body and shroud were calculated. This was done to determine the possible need for additional stress analyses of the DTT shroud to body welds based on thermal loads for a nuclear LOCE.
