Thermocouple temperature sensors are installed above the central region of the core in the JOYO experimental fast reactor to monitor the outlet coolant temperature of 115 subassemblies. This paper summarizes the experimental temperature data obtained during initial 50 MWt operation of the reactor. Subassembly outlet coolant temperature distributions that were obtained under various power levels, different main cooling system flowrates, and unequal reactor inlet temperatures from the two cooling loops are described. In addition, coolant temperature and flowrate distributions at the subassembly outlet measured in a zero power experiment are presented. |
