Description
The objective of measuring and analysing temperature fluctuations in the coolant of LMFBRs is the detection of coolant flow disturbances within reactor subassemblies and the development and performance validation of sensitive sensors and measuring devices. Extended experimental and theoretical investigations have been performed in the FRG for this purpose. The research programme contains three main parts: out-of-pile experiments on unblocked and blocked electrically heated rod bundles (60 deg.-segment, 28-pin bundle at ECN Petten, KNS 169-pin bundle at KfK/IRE, TENOFA 61-pin bundle at KfK/IRB); basic research and model development of the mean and fluctuating velocity and temperature field downstream of a simulated reactor subassembly (water and sodium experiments at the test section TEFLU); in-pile performance tests and investigation of long term reliability of temperature noise instrumentation at KNK II and at SNR 300
