Abstract

The results of Stage-II of CRP were presented at the Consultants’ meeting held in Vienna, in Oct. 93. Following the encouraging results of this stage, the participants decided to go ahead with the next stage, in which the tests conducted in Japan and France were to be analysed. Data for the following tests was provided by PNC, Japan.

  1. Seismic test on 29 assemblies in a single row
  2. Seismic test on 37 fuel assemblies in matrix layout
The testing configurations for the two cases are shown in figures 1 & 2. The tests were carried out both in air and in water.

This report presents the results of the calculations performed for the tests in water.
