“…The L-series tests demonstrated the fuel-motion responses of pre-irradiated fast-reactor-type MOX fuel pins to several different loss-of-flow accident conditions including strong overpower ramps [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33] [34,35,36,37]. A one-page summary of each L-series test is included in Appendix H.…”

This report provides summary information on experiments performed in the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) during its original operation from 1959-1994, and more specifically, before the TREAT core was upgraded at the end of the 1980s. The tests performed since about 1970 are summarized in considerable detail. Earlier tests are noted by their designated series and by some parameters that help to identify and distinguish each series from the others. The detailed summary descriptions are intended to help inform future researchers regarding the large, historical, empirical data base generated from that 35-year span during which hundreds of TREAT experiments were performed to investigate and demonstrate the transient behavior of a wide variety of nuclear fuels during severe off-normal and accident conditions-using direct nuclear heating of the test samples. That empirical basis is foundational and valuable for guiding future qualification and safety evaluation of improved fuel designs and for future transient test planning and performance in TREAT.

Analysis of TREAT Tests L7 and L8 with SAS3D, LEVITATE and PLUTO2. [LMFBR]

Abstract: Fuel motion in TREAT Tests L7 and L8 is analyzed with the SAS3D, LEVITATE, and PLUT02 computer codes. These results are compared with fuel motion data obtained from the fast neutron hodoscope. It is concluded that fission gas acts to disperse fuel during the early stages of fuel motion. I.
