The Delft desire facility for studies on (natural circulation) BWR primary system statics and dynamics
Description
A test facility for research on BWR core statics and dynamics was designed and built in Delft. The loop, DESIRE, consists of a BWR fuel assembly, a riser, condenser and a downcorner section. Freon-12 is used as a coolant. Presently, research on this facility is focused on investigations of the physical aspects of natural-circulation cooling and reactor kinetic stability. To this end, an artificial feedback from in-core void fraction to heating power is being established. The void fraction is determined on a sub-channel level by measuring the transmission of a collimated gamma beam
