Theoretical Investigations on Thermal Behaviour of NEPTUN Heater Elements (With Cosine Heat Generation) Used in Reflooding Experiments

摘要

An experimental facility called NEPTUN has been designed and is under construction at EIR for bundle reflooding experiments. Special electrical heater elements, simulating LOFT nuclear fuel, have been developed for NEPTUN bundle. In this report, some theoretical studies, which have been carried out for comparing thermal behaviours of NEPTUN heater elements and the LOFT nuclear fuel and the investigations on the several thermal aspects of the NEPTUN heater elements, are presented.
