In support of the LMFBR Fuels Development Program, Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL) has designed the Fuels Open Test Assembly (FOTA) for fuels testing at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The FOTA is a test vehicle designed to contain and support instrumented fuel experiments in the Fast Test Reactor (FTR) at FFTF. The initial two FOTA experiments will characterize the reference Driver Fuel Assembly performance in the FTR and provide experimental data to evaluate thermohydraulic models used to predict assembly performance. The design features and fabrication are described for the first two FOTA instrumented fuel experiments, which have been ...

Description
In support of the LMFBR Fuels Development Program, Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory (HEDL) has designed the Fuels Open Test Assembly (FOTA) for fuels testing at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The FOTA is a test vehicle designed to contain and support instrumented fuel experiments in the Fast Test Reactor (FTR) at FFTF. The initial two FOTA experiments will characterize the reference Driver Fuel Assembly performance in the FTR and provide experimental data to evaluate thermohydraulic models used to predict assembly performance. The design features and fabrication are described for the first two FOTA instrumented fuel experiments, which have been fabricated and are now in the FTR. A brief description of the FOTA test vehicle is included.
