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).

The distribution parameter of the drift-flux model has been developed for a rectangular channel and a simulated boiling water reactor (BWR) subchannel. The void fraction prediction by the subchannel drift-flux code CANAL is well demonstrated for heated rectangular channels. Intrasubchannel flow and void profiles are considered for subchannel model development. Distribution parameter C0 is found to be very sensitive to variation of the geometric parameters and subchannel types. Since void fraction measurements corresponding to the rectangular subchannel of a BWR rod bundle are unavailable at present, assessment of the derived models remains to be performed.
