Heat transfer experiments simulating a failure of the inlet piping to a BDF reactor process tube
Description:
Laboratory heat transfer experiments were conduced to investigate fuel element temperatures which could result from coolant flow loss following a failure of the inlet piping to a process tube at a B, D, F, DR, or H reactor. The results are reported herein. Failure of the inlet coolant piping between the front header and the process tube on a reactor would stop the normal flow of cooling water to the fuel elements. Such a failure should immediately initiate a reactor shutdown, but the only means…
