Natural convective behavior of EBR-2 following a loss of flow from decay heat levels
Abstract
Eight loss-of-flow transients were conducted at initial decay heat levels of 0.75 to 1.6% of the rated EBR-II power. The data indicate that the natural convective flow was adequate to remove the decay heat without overheating the reactor core. Good agreement with NATDEMO and HOTCHAN predictions was obtained.
