Blowdown hydraulic influence on core thermal response in LOFT nuclear experiment L2-3. [PWR]

Description: Experimental research into pressurized water reactor (PWR) loss-of-coolant phenomena conducted in the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility has given results indicating that for very large pipe breaks the core thermal response is tightly coupled to the fluid hydraulic phenomena during the blowdown phase of the loss-of-coolant transient. This summary presents and discusses data supporting this conclusion. LOFT Loss-of-Coolant Experiment (LOCE) L2-3 simulated a complete double-ended offset shear bre… more

Loss-of-fluid test (LOFT) facility

Description: The Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) facility is a 50 MW(t), volumetrically scaled, pressurized water reactor (PWR) system. The LOFT facility was designed to study the engineered safety features (ESF) in commercial PWR systems as to their response to the postulated loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). With recognition of the differences in commercial PWR designs and inherent distortions in reduced scale systems, the design objective for the LOFT facility was to produce the significant thermal-hydraulic ph… more

ECCS accumulator performance in scaled PWR experiments

Description: Best-estimate models for pressurized water reactor (PWR) loss-of-coolant (LOCA) analysis require a realistic assessment of the thermodynamic behavior of the N/sub 2/ gas in the accumulators of an emergency core cooling system (ECCS). The LOFT and Semiscale reactor safety research facilities, which are scaled to a commercial PWR, have provided experimental information which identifies the thermodynamic behavior of scaled ECCS accumulators. The thermodynamic behavior of PWR accumulators can be id… more

The derivation of material properties from measurements of radiation induced stress-time histories

Description: Material response experiments using the SATURN soft x-ray source in conjunction with hydrocode modelling have been used to determine equation-of-state parameters for aluminum. In these experiments, stresswaves in irradiated targets have been measured using both quartz and PVDF piezoelectric stress gauges for a wide range of incident fluences. The induced stress profiles are sensitive functions of. (1) the deposition profiles in the target material, (2) the temporal history of the radiation sour… more

Preliminary results of the TMI-2 radioactive iodine mass balance study

Description: Analysis of samples taken from the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor building following the 1979 accident indicates the fraction of the radioactive iodine (radioiodine) inventory in the core released to the uilding atmosphere is smaller tan assumed in Regulatory Guide 1.4. This summary presents analytical results supporting this conclusion.

Absolute X-Ray Yields From Laser-Irradiated, Ge-Doped Aerogel Targets

Description: Bright, multi-keV x-ray sources are essential for radiography of inertial-confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. In this context, there are two parameters of importance: the energy of the emitted photons, which determines how penetrating the x-rays are for radiographic purposes, and the brightness of the source, which determines the ability of a radiograph to resolve small features. As ICF experiments continue to get larger, such as those that will be carried out at the National Ignition Facilit… more
