Evaluation of different methods of introducing boric acid into the PHEBUS-FP tests

Abstract

A major aim of the Phebus-FP project is to follow the transport of a realistic source of fission product vapours/aerosols and other reactor materials through a complex circuit simulating the important features of the primary system and containment. Boric acid is a potentially large source of aerosol (up to 40,000 kg could enter the damaged core as part of the emergency cooling from various sources). In view of its importance, this soluble neutron absorber will be introduced into the forthcoming Phebus-FP experiments. Studies were conducted at Winfrith to investigate different methods of introducing boric acid. (author).
