Experimental data report for Test JM-2. Series of reactivity initiated accident test in the NSRR with fuel rod pre-irradiated in the JMTR

Abstract

This report presents experimental data for Test JM-2 performed in the Nuclear Safety Research Reactor (NSRR) in January, 1990. This test is the second test using a test fuel rod which was pre-irradiated in the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR). The test fuel rod is a short-sized PWR (14 x 14) type one and was pre-irradiated up to a fuel burnup of approximately 26,800 MWd/t. Pulse irradiation of the test fuel rod was performed under the stagnant water cooling conditions of atmospheric pressure and room temperature using a newly developed double container type experimental capsule. Energy deposited in the test fuel rod by the pulse irradiation was estimated to be 116 cal/g{center_dot}UO{sub 2} (87 cal/g{center_dot}UO{sub 2} in terms of peak fuel enthalpy) by chemical FP analyses. No fuel failure was observed. This report contains test design and conduct, fuel burnup measurements, transient behavior of the rod during pulse irradiation and results of post-pulse-irradiation examination. (author).
