Test PCM-5 Fuel Rod Materials Behavior (open access)

Test PCM-5 Fuel Rod Materials Behavior

Test PCM-5 was the first nine-rod bundle test in the Power-Cooling-Mismatch (PCM) Test Series. The test objectives were to evaluate the behavior of the center rod operated in an environment typical of a commercial reactor rod subjected to PCM transient and to investigate the potential for rod-to-rod interactions.
