When the water inventory evaporates during a hypothetical loss of coolant accident in the
core of a pressurized water reactor, the fuel rods temperature increases substantially …

Abstract During a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) in a Pressurized Water Reactor, partial
or complete drying of fuel assemblies may take place. In these conditions, the fuel …

Reflooding experiments with rod bundles at Loss Of Coolant Accident (LOCA) conditions
usually use intrusive methods with limited access and, consequently, their data are not …

Reflooding is a complicated thermal-hydraulic process in a loss of coolant accident (LOCA)
related to the nuclear reactor safety issues. Due to the physical nature of multi-scale behind …

Much effort has been devoted by the nuclear community to develop mechanistic models to
predict the heat dissipation of fuel rods during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). However …

During a loss of coolant accident (LOCA), blocked sub-channels may appear due to the
swelling of the fuel rods' cladding, which results in flow redistribution during the reflooding …

In this study, quenching experiments of vertical Inconel and Zircaloy tubes in internal water
flow were conducted. The effects of the initial tube wall temperature, liquid subcooling, and …

During reflood conditions following a loss-of-coolant accident in pressurized water reactors,
droplet flow affects the heat and mass transfer between liquid and steam phases. Flow …

Abstract Effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) on the deposition characteristics of corrosion-
related unidentified deposit (CRUD) were investigated by using 304 stainless steel micro …

High-temperature deformation caused is a major problem during reflooding. To describe the
heat transfer behaviour, relationship between the maximum temperature zone and …
