| Abstract: | From confercnce on fast rea ctor safety; Los Angeles, California, USA (2 Apr 1974). Recent studies suggest that fuel which is dispersed upward by a mild prompt critical burst may reenter the core region causing a secondary excuraion. Several modes of fuel reentry recriticality are examined, and phenomena which strongly affect reactivity ramp rate estimates are evaluated. A broad range of ramp rates results from these studies. The results also indicate that a number of effects expected to be present in realistic situations can strongly mitigate the expected reactivity insertion rates. (29 references) (auth) |
