Blockages in LMFBR fuel assemblies: a review of experimental and theoretical studies
This is a state-of-the-art report on the thermal-hydraulic effects of flow-channel blockages in liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) pin bundles. Most of the experimental and theoretical studies for simulating blockages in various prototype LMFBR fuel assemblies done in the United States and abroad through 1976 are presented and summarized. A brief summary on blockage detection is included.
