Nuclear Reactor Noise Investigations on Boiling Effects in a Simulated MTR-TypeFuel Assembly

摘要

Boiling experiments at HOR have a relatively long history that began more than adecade ago. Following some introductory out-of-pile experiments, a boiling setup was operating at HOR between 1984 and 1986. Based on the experience of that setup, a new boiling experiment, NIOBE (Noise Investigations On Boiling Effects), has been designed. The NIOBE setup has been in operation since the end of 1986. The present work contains results of experiments performed between 1988 and 1991, with the exception of Chapter 5, in which experiments with the predecessor of NIOBE are treated. The thesis is based on results of experiments performed at the NIOBE loop located in a research reactor (HOR).
