NEUP CINR-18-14908: Experimental measurements of fission product retention in liquid sodium

This project will measure the fission product up-take and retention in a column of liquid sodium under prototypic conditions. Sodium liquid at 550C will be used to ensure quantitatively accurate conditions. Real time X-ray analysis will be conducted to measure the gas distribution and a mass spectrometer will be used to measure upper plenum simulant gas accumulation as a function of time from a simulated fuel rupture. Sodium sampling will be conducted to ascertain fission product distribution.
