Effect of rod surface thermocouples on transient critical heat flux

  • 1. EG and G Idaho, Inc., Idaho Falls (USA)

Description

Tests to determine CHF times during loss of coolant experiments ''Blowdown'' were conducted on two 25-rod simulated fuel bundles. The tests were conducted at normal PWR conditions and geometry with power levels of 23, 39 and 52 kW/m. The tests show that thermocouples attached to the surface do not significantly affect time-to-CHF in the rod bundles tested. (author)
