Coolant Mixing in Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor Fuel Bundles.
Description:
Radial subchannel temperature imbalances can be quite severe in typical fast reactor designs of tight pitch to diameter ratios. Consideration of mixing between interconnected subchannels is required to avoid the significant design penalties which would otherwise would be imposed. The available experimental data and analytic methods for predicting coolant mixing are presented and their deficiencies relative to sodium cooled fast reactor application discussed. Sodium conduction effects, subchanne…
