F1 phenomenological test on fuel motion. Interim report. [LMFBR]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7349852
A description is given of TREAT F-series tests which are being conducted to provide data on fuel motion in an LMFBR during a hypothetical loss-of-flow accident. Fuel and fuel boundary conditions in an LMFBR subassembly following sodium voiding and dryout under loss-of-flow conditions are simulated in each F-series test. Simulation is achieved with a single fuel element surrounded by an annular nuclear heated wall in a dry (no sodium) test capsule. Results are presented and discussed.
