OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

An improved digital computer model DYNAM/US has been developed for predicting thermally induced instability in a once-through boiling flow with superheat. The present model includes newly developed dynamic schemes to calculate subcooled boiling, transition boiling, bulk boiling, as well as superheat. Numerical results revealed that this digital model compared well with existing experimental data and was able to predict lower natural frequencies as well as the system frequency response at higher frequencies.
