Babcock and Wilcox model for predicting in-reactor densification
Description
The B and W densification model is based on a correlation between in-reactor densification and a thermal resintering test. The densification model has been found to predict in-reactor densification with a remarkable degree of accuracy for fuel pellets operated at heat rates above 5 kW/ft and with considerable conservatism for pellelts operating at heat rates below 5 kW/ft
