Effects of pressure and heat loss on the unstable motion of cellular-flame fronts in hydrogen-air lean premixed flames were numerically investigated. The reaction mechanism for hydrogen-oxygen combustion was modeled with seventeen reversible reactions of eight reactive species and a diluent. Two-dimensional unsteady reactive flow was treated, and the compressibility, viscosity, heat conduction, molecular diffusion and heat loss were taken into account. As the pressure became higher, the maximum growth rate increased and the unstable range widened. These were due mainly to the decrease of flame thickness. The burning velocity of a cellular flame normalized by that of a planar flame increased as the pressure became higher and the heat loss became larger. This indicated that the pressure and heat loss affected strongly the unstable motion of cellular-flame fronts. In addition, the fractal dimension became larger, which denoted that the flame shape became more complicated.

Development of remote sensing technique using radiation resistant optical fibers under high-radiation environment

Ito, Chikara; Naito, Hiroyuki; Ishikawa, Takashi; Ito, Keisuke; Wakaida, Ikuo

A high-radiation resistant optical fiber has been developed in order to investigate the interiors of the reactor pressure vessels and the primary containment vessels at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The tentative dose rate in the reactor pressure vessels is assumed to be up to 1 kGy/h. We developed a radiation resistant optical fiber consisting of a 1000 ppm hydroxyl doped pure silica core and 4 % fluorine doped pure silica cladding. We attempted to apply the optical fiber to remote imaging technique by means of fiberscope. The number of core image fibers was increased from 2000 to 22000 for practical use. The transmissive rate of infrared images was not affected after irradiation of 1 MGy. No change in the spatial resolution of the view scope by means of image fiber was noted between pre- and post-irradiation. We confirmed the applicability of the probing system, which consists of a view scope using radiation-resistant optical fibers.

Data report of ROSA/LSTF experiment TR-LF-07; Loss-of-feedwater transient with primary feed-and-bleed operation

The TR-LF-07 test simulated a loss-of-feedwater transient in a PWR. A SI signal was generated when steam generator (SG) secondary-side collapsed liquid level decreased to 3 m. Primary depressurization was initiated by fully opening a power-operated relief valve (PORV) of pressurizer (PZR) 30 min after the SI signal. High pressure injection (HPI) system was started in loop with PZR 12 s after the SI signal, while it was initiated in loop without PZR when the primary pressure decreased to 10.7 MPa. The primary and SG secondary pressures were kept almost constant because of cycle opening of the PZR PORV and SG relief valves. The PZR liquid level began to drop steeply following the PORV full opening, which caused liquid level formation at the hot leg. The primary pressure became lower than the SG secondary pressure, which resulted in the actuation of accumulator (ACC) system in both loops. The primary feed-and-bleed operation was effective to core cooling because of no core uncovery.

Effect of electromagnetic force on the pressure drop and coupling loss of cable-in-conduit conductor

In the ITER Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC) and a CS Insert Coil (CSIC) experiment, a pressure drop of the CSIC decreased by about 12% at 40 kA, 10 T and coupling losses indicated an transport current dependence. As a result of pressure drop analysis, an electromagnetic force causes a compressive deformation of cable in a jacket and a new flow passage was generated as a gap between cable and jacket. The cable deformation causes a decrease of a contact electrical resistance between strands and an increase of coupling losses. Taking account of the electromagnetic force dependency of a coupling time constant, calculated coupling losses show a good agreement with measured coupling losses at a pulsed operation of CSMC and CSIC.

The test of the ITER Central Solenoid (CS) model coil, CS and Nb $_{3}$ Al inserts was carried. The AC loss measurement is one of the most important tests to determine coil performance. The coupling losses of CS and Nb $_{3}$ Al inserts were measured by calorimetric and magnetization methods, respectively. Both coils had coupling losses with many coupling time constant, and induced circulation currents were observed by voltage taps and hall sensors. Coupling losses decreased with exponential decay constants since the electromagnetic force broke weak sinter among the strands. The gap, created between the cable and the conduit by electromagnetic force, is dependent on the pressure drop of the coolant that flows in the conductor. Our analysis shows that the exponential decay constant of coupling losses is dependent on the gap size. If we can evaluate this exponential decay constant and apply the electromagnetic force that corresponds for the exponential decay constant to the conductor before the regular operation, we can use coils of the condition that coupling losses decrease on the operation.

JRR-4, a swimming-pool type research reactor with a thermal power of 3.5MW, attained criticality in July 1998, after replacing its 90% enrichment fuel with a 20% enrichment fuel under the Reduced Enrichment Program. As a part of the program, safety analysis on thermo-hydraulics of the reactor core was conducted on cases including single channel blockage accident. With the conclusion that a certain margin on thermo-hydraulics was necessary, investigation and experiments were carried out with an aim to increase the core flow rate. To increase the core flow, it was carried out to reduce the bypass flow in the core and to increase the primary coolant flow rate from 7m $^{3}$ /min to 8m $^{3}$ /min. After flow measurements using a mock-up fuel element, flow velocity of the fuel channel was determined as 1.45m/s as opposed to the designed value of 1.44m/s, and the ratio of core flow to total flow was 0.88, exceeding the value 0.86 used for the safety analysis.This report describes the JRR-4 core flow increase plan as well as the results of the channel flow rate measurement
