Theoretical studies on some aspects of molten fuel-coolant thermal interaction
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Nuclear Engineering, [1973], 1973)Rapid generation of high pressures and mechanical work may result when thermal energy is transferred from the hot molten nuclear fuel to the coolant in an LMFBR accident. Such energetic thermal interactions are facilitated ...
