LMFBR safety: Task 10 - characterization of sodium fires and fission product
The objectives of this project are to: develop a computer program for calculating two-dimensional, transient, natural convection phenomena such as those arising from various sodium spill accidents in Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) heat transfer equipment vaults, head compartments, containment buildings, and secondary heat transfer systems; develop experimental programs and conduct tests that will characterize the behavior of sodium, sodium oxide, fuel, fission product, and other aerosols as they might be generated by various postulated LMFBR accidents; determine by analysis and experiment the generation and transport of these aerosols; and determine the effects of an accident in an LMFBR involving fuel melting by contacting molten UO/sub 2/ (a fuel simulant) with stainless steel, sodium, concrete, and various sacrificial materials
LMFBR safety program. Quarterly technical progress report, October-December 1976
Information related to sodium fires and fission products in LMFBR type reactors is presented concerning SOMIX code development; sodium jet dispersal tests; aerosol leakage; high temperature-concentration aerosol tests; aerosol source term size; and properties of high temperature fuel mixtures
Characterization of sodium fires and fission products. Progress report, October-December 1975. [LMFBR]
The objectives of the research program are to develop a computer program for calculating two-dimensional, transient, natural-convection phenomena, such as those arising from various postulated sodium spill accidents in LMFBR heat transfer vaults, head compartments, containment buildings, and secondary heat transfer systems; to develop experimental programs and conduct tests that will characterize the behavior of sodium, sodium oxide, fuel, fission product, and other aerosols as they might be generated by various postulated LMFBR accident; and to determine by analysis and experiment the generation and transport of these aerosols with respect to source (location, type, and configuration) release dispersal, agglomeration attenuation, and removal for the entire course of events associated with real and hypothetical accident conditions
