Temperature distribution in a 19-rod simulated LMFBR fuel assembly in a hexagonal duct (Fuel Failure Mockup bundle 2A): record of experimental data

This report is a record of experimental data obtained from Fuel Failure Mockup bundle 2A, which simulated the configuration and power level of the Fast test Reactor fuel. Bundle 2A consisted of 19 electric cartridge heaters with outside diameters of 0.230in. spaced by 0.056-in. wire wraps on a 12-in. pitch all enclosed in a hexagonal can.

Abstract

This report is a record of experimental data obtained from Fuel Failure Mockup bundle 2A, which simulated the configuration and power level of the Fast test Reactor fuel. Bundle 2A consisted of 19 electric cartridge heaters with outside diameters of 0.230in. spaced by 0.056-in. wire wraps on a 12-in. pitch all enclosed in a hexagonal can.
