Fig.7-6 Experiment for upward discharge of molten fuel from a fuel subassembly with an inner-duct structure (FAIDUS)

Under a joint-research program with the National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC/RK), data on the upward discharge behavior of molten fuel through an inner duct was successfully obtained by simulating an accident condition in which an experimental fuel subassembly was molten and heated by nuclear heating up to approximately 3000 °C using the NNC’s research reactor IGR (Impulse Graphite Reactor).
