AbstractAbstract
[en] The purpose of this paper is to review the evidence from the OECD LP-FP-2 experiment that a high temperature excursion occurred within the center fuel module (CFM) during the reflood portion of the test, was caused by rapid metal-water reaction. It is shown that this reflood scenario explains many perplexing observations from the experiment, in particular, the small amount of fission products and hydrogen transported to the blowdown suppression tank (BST) as compared with the larger quantities trapped within the primary coolant system (PCS). The timing and destruction of the CFM upper tie plate, as well as the transport of fuel debris to the top of this plate, are also explained. In general, all measurements, observations, and analyses of the LP-FP-2 data indicate that most of the CFM damage occurred during a relatively short period of time coincident with the reflood portion of the experiment. 4 refs., 6 figs
