Preliminary Experiment of a Water Scaled Model for the Thermal Hydraulic Study of 600MWe-SFR

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

KAERI has been developing a pool-type Sodiumcooled Fast Reactor (SFR). For a SFR development, one of the main topics is an enhancement of the reactor system safety. Thus, the large sodium experiments are planned to evaluate the reactor safety and component performance. Before a large sodium test, a scaled water model test had better be conducted due to several benefits. In this study, the thermal hydraulic behavior is investigated with a transparent 1/10 scaled reactor vessel model for the KALIMER-600 reactor. The scaled transparent water model facility is preliminarily operated at around 30 .deg. C water condition to check an operability of the experimental facility
