One-Dimensional Cladding-Relocation Model for Fast-Reactor Loss-of-Flow Accidents
Description:
The motion and location of the molten-cladding during an unprotected loss-of-flow accident in liquid metal fast breeder reactors are important because of the effects on the reactivity and the subsequent fuel motion. The present study analyzes the cladding-relocation problem based on a single-channel film-flow model and a simple thermal transient model for fuel pins. The motion of molten cladding induced by sodium-vapor streaming undergoes initial rapid upward acceleration, slowing down, flow re…
