Description

In order to avoid the analysis of the actual heat transfer and process, from the point of view of energy balance, a method that can quickly estimate water temperature of spent fuels storage pool is presented. The water temperature with the method when the spent fuels were transferred into spent fuels storage pool during the major overhaul of High Flux Engineering Test Reactor (HFETR) is calculated, and the calculation results were verified by recording the actual water temperature. The results show that the method can successfully and rapidly estimate the water temperature, and the calculation results are reliable. (authors)
