Mixer Spool Effectiveness and Pressure Loss Evaluations for Low Pressure Reactors

Description: Process tube and fuel jacket failures due to corrosion are recurring problems in the operation of nuclear reactors and are generally accentuated by coolant temperature increases. Water mixer fuel pieces which mix the subchannel flow streams are used in the production reactor fuel columns to reduce peripheral and hole-to-annulus coolant temperature disparities and, thus, to reduce corrosion problems. The mixer in current use is approximately two inches long and is attached to a six inch fuel pie… more
