Construction report of 6 x 6 rod bundle reflood test facility (ATHER)

Creators

Description

The 6x6 reflood test facility has been constructed by KAERI to quantify rewetting mechanism and evaluate the effect of dispersed flow cooling with respect to droplet behavior. The test section consists of a simulated 6 x 6 rod bundle, a flow housing, 4 pairs of borosilicate glasses for a visual observation and instrumentation. Axial power shape of the simulated heater rod is cosine. Peaking factor and heated length of the rod bundle are 1.468 and 3,810 mm, respectively. Special features of this facility are a separator tank to measure the amount of entrained droplet and a superheated steam probe for the measurement of superheated steam temperature in sub-channel. The experimental results from this study will be useful for the performance evaluation and the program update of the related computer code
