Book Description
"The potential for safe containment of the core materials of a liquid metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) following a hypothetical disruptive accident (HCDA) depends to a great extent on the post-accident distirbution of the reactor materials ... In this report a preliminary evaluation of the major factors that influence the mechanisms of fuel relocation from the disrupted core is made. Particular attention has been given to the design features of the Clinch Breeder Reactor plant (CRBR)"--Introduction.

Book Description
Assessment of the dynamics of post-accident fuel relocation and heat removal is an important aspect of the evaluation of the consequences of a hypothetical accident in an LMFBR. Such an assessment is of particular importance in the evaluation of the post-accident radiological doses around the reactor site. In the present evaluation particular attention is given to the design features of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant (CRBR). Fuel relocation and heat removal, assuming certain conditions have resulted in core disruption, are discussed. The discussion of events and phenomena involved in the relocation processes is centered around the resulting patterns of heat source distribution. The factors influencing fuel relocation and distribution in the inlet and outlet plena of the reactor vessel are discussed. The current technology of in-vessel heat removal is applied to the design of the CRBR reactor. Both fuel debris cooling limits and overall coolant flow in the reactor under natural convection conditions are explored. Some of the uncertainties in ex-vessel fuel behavior are addressed. In particular, the effect of melting the cavity bed on the rate of growth of a molten fuel pool is investigated.
