Experimental Investigations of the Removal of Sodium Oxide From Liquid Sodium (open access)

Experimental Investigations of the Removal of Sodium Oxide From Liquid Sodium

Experimental investigations were conducted to obtain additional information on the growth and characteristics of sodium oxide deposits in liquid sodium which could lead to system plugging. These investigations included the removal of sodium oxide from molten sodium by the cold trap method.

Influence of the Doppler Effect on the Meltdown Accident (open access)

Influence of the Doppler Effect on the Meltdown Accident

The influence of the Doppler effect in the core disassembly process following a meltdown accident is examined with a Bethe-Tait type model in which the Doppler effect, as well as core disassembly, is considered in the reactor shutdown process. It is shown that a strong negative Doppler effect can radically reduce the explosive energy release in such an accident. (auth)
