摘要
An apparatus has been developed that simulates, out-of-reactor, both in-reactor thermal gradients and heating rates in oxide fuel pellet stacks through direct electrical heating. Preliminary results of tests of both steady-state and transient operation indicate that fuel phenomena and fuel microstructures similar to those observed in actual in-reactor transients can be produced.
