Abstract

This report describes TRAC-PD2 calculations of FLECHT (Full Length Emergency Cooling Heat Transfer) tests 4831 and 17201. The calculations were performed as part of the TRAC-PD2 developmental assessment where the objective was to assess TRAC-PD2 reflood modeling under forced flooding conditions. Calculated and experimental values for peak fuel-rod clad temperature, clad quenching time, and rod bundle effluent rates are compared; and calculations with an approximate radiation heat-transfer model added to the basic TRAC-PD2 code are performed. Findings demonstrate the potential importance of surface-to-surface radiation heat transfer in these tests.
