Abstract

Abstract During accident scenarios the effective cooling of spent fuel directly affects the safety of nuclear power plants. Two experiments were performed in a full-height facility to study the thermal-hydraulic behavior in spent fuel pool. In spent fuel pool boiling experiment, the heat transfer characteristics are related to the flow patterns. However, the flow pattern in narrow and long channel is different from the traditional flow pattern. In the semi-dry of heated rod, wall temperature oscillation occurs for a long time. In the spent fuel pray experiment, the liquid film thickness varies randomly with time and space. As the spray flow density increase, the maximum wall temperature decrease gradually with a certain linear characteristic.
