Description

The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) provided advanced instrumentation for use in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) developed the advanced instruments for making two-phase measurements in multidimensional refill/reflood test facilities. These unique instrumentation systems were designed to survive the hostile environmental conditions existing during a simulated pressurized water reactor (PWR) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). The instruments provide the two-phase measurements required to better understand thermal-hydraulic behavior during LOCAs. Applications of the advanced instruments and their survivability performance in three JAERI facilities are discussed. (author)
