Description/Abstract:
PRESENTS A SCANNING CAPACITANCE METHOD FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE WATER DISTRIBUTION WITHIN A PROCESS TUBE UNDER TRANSIENT BOILING CONDITIONS. RESULTS OF EXPLORATORY RUNS ARE INCLUDED. THE RUNS SIMULATE INLET PIGTAIL FAILURES ON PROCESS TUBES OPERATING T 725 AND 1000 KW. INCLUDES CURVES OF WATER DISTRIBUTION OVER THE TUBE WITH TIME AND TOTAL TUBE WATER CONTENT. RECOMMENDS THAT THE TEST BE CONTINUED TO PROVIDE VALID DATA FOR ASSESSING THE REACTOR HAZARDS INVOLVED IN CASES OF COOLING WATER SUPPLY FAILURES.
