Abstract
In a transient overpower (TOP) accident, the fuel element failure threshold is a function of the rate of reactivity increase and the fuel microstructure. In Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) Test E8, seven mixed-oxide PNL-10 elements from the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) subassembly X093 were used in a simulation of an unprotected /3/s transient overpower (TOP) accident in a liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR). This paper presents the results of Test E8. Experimental hardware is also described. 9 refs.
