Description

Large, multiple-nozzle spray systems are installed in boiling water reactors for emergency core cooling in the unlikely event of a loss-of-coolant accident. A method has been developed to predict spray distribution performance of multiple-nozzle core spray systems operating in a steam environment. This paper describes the performance analysis method, the experimental basis and qualification of the procedure, and the confirmation of the method with the full-scale sector tests. 8 refs
