AbstractAbstract
[en] A series of in-pile experiments addressing LWR severe fuel damage phenomena is being conducted in the ACRR reactor at Sandia National Laboratories. The ACRR Damaged Fuel Relocation (DFR) experiments are separate effects tests which provide a data base for the development and verification of models for LWR severe core damage accidents. The first experiment in this series, DF-1, has been completed and the results and analysis to date are discussed in this paper. DF-1 examined the effect of low initial clad oxidation conditions on fuel damage and relocation processes. Visual observation showed early clad relocation and partial blockage formation at the grid spacer location with significant aerosol production. Oxidation-driven heating rates of 250K/s and peak temperatures in excess of 25250K were observed
