Natural convection as the way of heat removal from fast reactor core at cooldown regimes

  • 1. State Scientific Centre of Russian Federation, Institute of Physics and Power Engineering, Obninsk, Kaluga Region (Russian Federation)

Description

The problems of thermohydraulics in fast reactors at cooldown regimes at heat removal by natural convection are considered The results of experiments and calculations obtained in various countries in this area are presented. The special attention is given to heat removal through inter-assembly space in the core and also to problems of thermohydraulics in the upper plenum. (author)
