Experimental Determination of Thermal Conductivity of a Lead- Bismuth, Eutectic-Filled Annulus

In order to obtain an accurate prediction of the thermal behavior of an annular fuel assembly (see MIT-NFC-PR-048 for a description of the rods), the thermal conduction of the region from the outside of the fuel capsule to the reactor coolant (within the test assembly) must be known. The effectiv...
