BWR blowdown heat transfer program. Final report

Creators

Description

System performance and thermal response characteristics of BWR's during the initial blowdown phase under loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions were investigated in a scaled test apparatus. A number of inherent cooling mechanisms were observed for which no credit is taken in the current BWR LOCA evaluation method. The current method, when applied to the test apparatus, shows a substantial margin in the prediction of peak cladding temperature. Specific phenomenological model improvements are recommended
