Experimental and Analytical Study of Exponential Power Excursion in Plate-Type Fuel

This paper presents an investigation of transient heat transfer, which may occur in nuclear reactors with plate-type fuel during a reactivity initiated accident. Analytical solutions of the heat transfer equation were developed to describe the behavior of plate-type fuel and the MIT pool boiling fac...
