Description

This paper describes void behavior in an outlet pipe at simulated loss of coolant accident for a pressure tube type nuclear reactor. Three needle contact probes type void meter was set at same cross section in the pipe of 3 inch diameter in order to measure the radial void distribution change with time. Experiments performed at 70 ata show that the void meter can measure the transient void behavior such as void fractuation and cholking phenomena. (author)
