University of Washington sodium boiling detection studies

Creators

Description

A research team at the University of Washington has been engaged in studies whose objective is to advance the art of detecting the onset of sodium boiling in LMFBRs. Four types of activity have been emphasized: (1) detection of reactor power fluctuations due to local disturbances, (2) acoustic-neutronic cross correlation, (3) analysis of sodium boiling phenomena and design of test subassemblies for EBR-II, and (4) participation in ongoing European activities. The report summarizes past results, current programs, and future prospects in these four areas
