In-bundle void measurement of a BWR fuel assembly by X-ray CT scanner

  • 1. Toshiba Corp., Kawasaki, Kanagawa (Japan)

Description

The purpose of this study is to measure the local void distribution in the full scale BWR fuel assembly by using the X-ray CT scanner and to discuss the rod bundle void data. Major conclusions obtained are as follows; (1) Local void fraction data in the 8x8 rod bundle have been obtained. (2) The cross-sectional averaged void fraction for a 8x8 rod bundle can be correlated by the Drift-Flux model and the value of Co and VGj can be obtained by the present data. (3) The EPRI void correlation can be predicted the present void data very well. (author)
