Experimental determination of heat transfer coefficients in uranium zirconium hydride fuel rod
The heat generated by nuclear fission is transferred from fuel elements to the cooling system through the fuel-to-cladding gap and the cladding-to-coolant interfaces. The fuel thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient from the cladding to the coolant were evaluated experimentally. A correlation for the gap conductance between the fuel and the cladding was also presented. As the ...

Modelling of water consumption in a spent fuel storage facility
In current practice, spent fuel is most commonly stored in a special basin of distilled or demineralised water for a required time period to reduce the amount of heat generated by radioactive decay to a level that can permit reprocessing. The processes taking place inside the spent fuel induce complex processes in the storage basin. The loss of water from the storage basin by means of ...
