Description
Tests E8, L5, F1 and F2 were recent experiments performed at TREAT as a part of the LMFBR Safety Test Program. Test E8 employed seven pins with fuel which had an axial variation of its fuel microstructure more like FTR than in previous tests. Test E8 was the first overpower experiment with clear indication of an initial postfailure fuel dispersal. An analysis made with the PLUTO code indicates that the driving force for fuel expulsion to the coolant channel was fission gas. The subsequent fuel dispersal could be explained by fission-gas expansion and a very mild fuel-coolant interaction
