An experimental study of reflood in a scaled 1692 rod slab core

Creators

  • 1. Westinghouse Electric Corp.

Description

An experiment has been devised and executed to examine the three dimensional aspects of reflood in large open lattice cores such as in Pressurized Water Reactors. The test section consisted of an 18 x 94 rod array yielding 1692 rods total on a square lattice. Three types of reflood phenomena were identified. Data are presented as well as an analytical treatment of the height of the two phase region as a function of heat flux from the rods
