Reactivity Initiated Accident Test Series Test RIA 1-2 Experiment Operating Specification

Description: This document describes the experiment operating specifications for the Reactivity Initiated Accident (RIA) Test RIA 1-2 to be conducted in the Power Burst Facility (PBF) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The RIA Series I research objectives are to determine fuel failure thresholds, modes and consequences as functions of enthalpy insertion, irradiation history, and fuel design. Coolant conditions of pressure, temperature, and flow rate that are typical of hot-startup conditions in c… more

Reactivity Initiated Accident Test Series RIA Scoping Test Experiment Predictions

Description: The Reactivity 'Initiated Accident (RIA) test series to be conducted in the Power Burst Facility (PBF) has been designed.to determine fuel failure thresholds, modes, and consequences as a function of energy deposition, irradiation history, and fuel design. The RIA Scoping Test will be comprised of five single unirradiated rod sub-tests. The first rod will be subjected to a series of transient power bursts of increasing energy release to determine the energy deposition at cladding failure. … more

Reactivity Initiated Accident Test Series RIA Scoping Test Quick Look Report

Description: The Reactivity Initiated Accident Scoping Test (RIA-ST) was successfully completed August 30, 1978. The test was introductory to the RIA Series 1 tests and was designed to investigate and resolve several anticipated problem areas prior to performance of the first test of the series, Test RIA 1-1. The RIA Scoping Test, as performed, consisted of four separate single-rod experiment phases. The first three phases were performed with shrouded fuel rods of 5.8 wt.% enrichment. They were subjected to… more

RIA 1-4 Experiment Specification Document

Description: The Reactivity Initiated Accident (RIA) test series is being performed in the Power Burst Facility (PBF) to provide data for verifying analytical codes capable of predicting light water reactor fuel performance during hypothetical control rod drop (or ejection) accidents. The most important aspect of an RIA or an RIA test is the magnitude of energy deposited into the fuel, therefore the primary purpose of the RIA test series is to better define the relationship between e.nergy deposition and fu… more
