Description

In this work applications of the moving-grid technique are reported. In particular, the technique is used to analyze the LACE LA-4 experiment, which simulated processes that could occur in light water reactor containments under severe accident conditions. In this experiment, measurements were made of the aerosol concentrations of hygroscopic CsOH and non-hygroscopic MnO in a steam-filled vessel. Rapid aerosol removal was observed during vessel depressurization and was attributed to condensation on aerosols enhanced by the hygroscopic nature of CsOH. (author). 10 refs., 1 tab., 16 figs
