First visual in-pile fuel disruption experiments
Description
A number of in-pile and out-of-pile experiments as well as analytical studies have addressed LMFBR fuel disruption: several disruption models have been discussed in the literature. Hypotheses have included, among others, that the fuel could: (1) breakup rapidly in a ''dust-cloud''; (2) swell in the solid or liquid state to a ''froth'' with fission gas forming the discontinuous phase; or (3) melt and slump with release of fission gas. Sandia Fuel Disruption Experiments are described which have been designed to study this phenomenology and to clarify this issue
