In-pile experiments ''Mol 7C'' related to pin to pin failure propagation

  • 1. Kernforschungszent Karlsruhe, Germany

Description

A common program Mol 7C is performed by KfK Karlsruhe and CEN/SCK Mol to demonstrate that rapid failure propagation does not occur as a consequence of local cooling disturbances in LMFBR fuel elements. The present experimental program consists of three in-pile tests with a 37 pin bundle with an artificial local blockage. After a defined preirradiation time the enforced cooling of the local blockage is interrupted so that significant damages of several pins will result. 8 refs
