摘要
The natural-circulation characteristics and the density-wave stability characteristics of the natural-circulation Freon-12 facility DESIRE for a specific configuration have been determined by systematically performing experiments in the whole operating range. A large amount of data has been gathered to be used for future benchmarking of computer codes for the calculation of boiling water reactor (BWR) stability. Contrary to expectations, it was found that, for low subcooling values, the stability of the facility improves as the power is increased when keeping the subcooling number constant. This result can serve as a challenging benchmark for models and codes, since it is not in line with the experience from the majority of analytical and numerical models. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
