Hydraulic Instability In a Natural Circulation Loop With Wet Steam Generation at 1000 PSIA (open access)

Hydraulic Instability In a Natural Circulation Loop With Wet Steam Generation at 1000 PSIA

Experimental test loops have been used to study the problem of hydraulic stability. The oscillatory behavior of a single-phase and two-phase natural circulation loop has been examined at atmospheric pressures and oscillating modes of operation were studied in terms of heat input.

Post-Irradiation Examination of Cored, Edge Loaded, Thoria-Urania Nuclear Fuel

Three edge loaded thoria-urania nuclear fuel samples were assembled into a capsule, irradiated and examined. This irradiation was the first of a series to develop thoria-urania fuel for high heat flux, specific power and burn-up operation in a sodium graphite reactor.
