Reflood experiments with a 4-rod bundle. Interim report
Description
Experiments are reported on the reflooding of a four-rod bundle in a new radio-frequency heating facility. A range of flowrates and surface temperatures have been covered. The results show significant differences in the quenching rates of stainless-steel and zircaloy clad, and significant interaction between them in a mixed bundle. The results have been correlated utilizing conduction theory. Comments are made on the nature of the transient boiling curve
