Description

This communication is related to the LMFBR safety analysis of undercooling accidents such as pump run down or total inlet blockage of a subassembly. The authors present the physical models developed for sodium boiling propagation and clad motion and their application to SCARABEE in pile experiments simulating loss of flow accidents in bundle geometry. These studies showed the validity of our description of boiling propagation and improved our understanding of the clad relocation phenomena
