Abstract:The objective of the present study is to evaluate the temperature rise due to gas release behind local blockage in LMFBR fuel subassemblies.The experiments were conducted using six sets of electrically heated 37-, 61-and 91-pin bundles. The central or edge subchannels of each test section were blocked by a non-heat generating blockage of stainless steel plate. The effect of operational and geometrical conditions on the coolability of the blocked bundle were investigated from the test results. The examined fact… Show more
