Title: Comparison of HYDRA predictions to temperature data from two single-assembly spent fuel heat transfer tests

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7012944· OSTI ID:7012944

The HYDRA computer code was used to simulate the thermal performance of an actual and a model spent fuel assembly. The HYDRA-predicted temperatures were then compared with measured data from two single-assembly test sections. The objective of this effort was to further verify the predictive capabilities of the HYDRA code for use in assessments of the hydrothermal performance of spent fuel dry storage systems. After HYDRA has been adequately evaluated and validated, the code will be documented to permit design and licensing safety analyses.
