Modeling the thermal effects of fabricated fuel-to-cladding gap in fast reactor fuel

Creator:

Baker, Ronald Blair

Abstract:

This report presents a refined method for the calculation of fuel centerline temperatures and the linear-heat-rating-to-incipient melting, ' Q'[subscript m], of mixed-oxide fuel typical of that to be used in the Fast Flux Test Facility and in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. Of primary concern are the effects of the...
