VALIDATION OF COOLANT THERMAL RESPONSE IN A TRANSIENT FINITE DIFFERENCE THERMAL TRANSPORT MODEL WITH APPLICATIONS TO FAST SPECTRUM REACTORS

Transient behavior in nuclear reactors is important in accidents and with reactivity control systems that are driven by thermal feedback. Here, we describe a transient finite difference model for a pin cell system. The fidelity of the model is shown by validation against the thermocouple measurement...
