Reaction of Flowing Steam with Stainless Steel-Clad and Zircaloy-2-Clad, UO2-Core Simulated Fuel Elements

Description
Experiments designed to simulate the environment of the fuel in a water-cooled power reactor following a loss-of-coolant accident have continued. In such a situation, the fuel would be subjected to a slowly rising temperature as a result of the heat generated by fission product decay. Typical accident calculations (ANL-6925, p. 215 and ANL-7055, p. 192) have indicated that, in the absence of effective countermeasures, average fuel temperatures would reach the melting point of the metal cladding in about 10 min.
