Description

Since the reactor accident in Fukushima Daiichi, the vulnerability of spent fuel pools (SFP) is more focused in nuclear safety research. This paper presents the experimental findings about the convective heat transfer of a boiling water reactor (BWR) spent FA under the absence of water. These studies are performed within the joint project SINABEL that is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to investigate the thermal hydraulics of selected accident scenarios in SFP experimentally and numerically.
