NEUP CINR-21-24111: Experimental Investigations of HTGR Fission Product Transport in Separate-effect Test Facilities Under Prototypical Conditions for Depressurization and Water-ingress Accidents

We will perform experimental investigations of fission product (FP) lift-off, washoff, vaporization from plateout surfaces, and transport of FP at prototypical conditions representing depressurization and water-ingress accidents. Measurements are performed on existing separate-effect facilities using intrusive/non-intrusive techniques to obtain shear stress, deposition velocity, thermal gradient, gas impurity for advanced correlations. Modeling is performed using system and CFD codes.
