Storage of Thermal REactor Safety Analysis data
Description

The test facility consists of a slender cylinder with an effective inner diameter of 0.66 m bearing plane glass windows in the front and back sides. The upper part is occupied by the melt generator which leaves a 0.14 m wide annular space for the steam flow. The facility is entirely closed except for four large venting pipes (4 m long, each with a cross section of 90 cm2) which were also closed in two tests. The space below the melt generator is about 2.2 m high but for the processes to be studied, the actual height of the test water pool was determined by a concave debris catcher that could be mounted at different heights. The test rig was placed inside a large (220 m3) pressure vessel providing a safety barrier and the possibility to perform tests at elevated ambient pressure.
