STUDIES OF UPPER-PLENUM COOLANT CIRCULATION IN A QUARTER-SCALE AIR-FLOW MODEL OF THE PWR

Description: Air-flow studies were run in a quarter-scale flow model of the PWR to determine distribution of flow throughout the upper-plenum region with two different hold-down-barrel designs. With each hold-down barrel, flow paths were determined for operation with four loops, three loops, two opposed loops, and two adjacent loops. Exploration of flow patterns and velocities throughout the upper plenum showed that circulation of coolant throughout the upper plenum was satisfactory with either of the hold-… more

SUMMARY OF UO$sub 2$-STAINLESS STEEL DISPERSION ELEMENT IRRADIATION EXPERIMENTS

Description: A search of the literature to obtain information concerning enriched UO/ sub 2/-- stainless-steel dispersion type fuel elements has disclosed five programs which have pertinent information. The primary aim of the search was to discover maximum burn-ups and temperatures for safe use of this type of element. Tests were labeled a failure if swelling, cracking or fission-product release resulted from the irradiation. Moderate swelling or blisters without the other indications was called a slight fa… more
