LOFT Cladding Surface Thermocouple Calibration Test Results for Zircaloy Clad Rod IH-8029-2

摘要

LOFT thermocouple response data are presented from the second zircaloy clad heater rod tests conducted in the LTSF Blowdown Facility which simulated conditions expected during the LOFT loss-of-coolant experiments. Comparison is made with previous zircaloy clad heater rod tests and discussion of the application of these results for correcting LOFT cladding temperature measurements is presented.
