Behavior of Sodium Oxide, Uranium Oxide and Mixed Sodium Oxide-Uranium Oxide Aerosols in a Large Vessel

Results are reported for experiments on the behavior of sodium oxide aerosols, uranium oxide aerosols, and various mixtures of these in the Nuclear Safety Pilot Plant (NSPP) vessel at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The NSPP program, sponsored by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is to provide experimental qualification of the HAARM-3 aerosol behavioral code being independently developed at Battelle-Columbus Laboratories. The results of fourteen single-component and six mixed-component aerosol experiments are presented along with selected comparisons with code predictions
