Description

Sandia National Laboratories is presently involved in several NRC-sponsored experimental projects to provide data that will help quantify the threat of hydrogen combustion during LWR accidents. One project, which employs several experimental facilities: is the Variable Geometry Experimental System (VGES). The purpose of this paper is to present the experimental results from one of these facilities; the intermediate-scale burn tank (≅5m/sup 3/). The data provided by this facility can be used in the development and assessment of analytical models used to predict hydrogen combustion behavior
