AbstractAbstract
[en] As part of an effort to establish the work potential of LMFBR fuel-coolant pairs under accident conditions, a series of prompt burst energetics (PBE) experiments has been carried out at Sandia Laboratories. In the PBE series, Fuel-Coolant Interactions (FCI) have been observed both between UO2 and Na and between UC and Na. As anticipated, FCI energetics are found to be greater for UC/Na. Preliminary conclusions from analyzes of that series are reviewed herein. In addition to PBE analysis, work on modeling fuel fragmentation is briefly described. Finally, additional FCI-related experiments at Sandia are discussed. In particular a series of UO2/Na wetting experiments is planned to verify the hypothesis that wetting between these materials is due to formation of sodium uranate. Should this be the case, wetting may be suppressed on prompt burst timescales
