CAMEL II 37-pin/7-pin intra-pin fuel injection test

It is concluded that the 2-D effects of this test allowed the coolant to bypass the injected fuel, prohibiting any significant intermixing of the fuel and sodium to take place. This lack of intermixing resulted in a benign pressurization event and significantly reduced the fuel sweepout over previous CAMEL tests. The resulting fuel blockage is predicted to be in a coolable state when analyzed with PLUGCO, a numerical computer code for analysis of post-transient blockage coolability.
