Uranium metal reacts actively with water to produce uranium oxide and hydrogen gas, and radiolysis of water also produces hydrogen in fuel containers. These fuel reactivities increase the potential for over pressurization and pyrophoric events during storage. Flow rate calculations were undertaken to examine the problem of the release of water trapped in subsurface voids during the vacuum drying for damaged fuel. To calculate the flow rates of the water vapor, five flow models are developed based on the kinetic theory of gases. The difference between the vapor pressure and the operating pressure provides the driving force for crevice water removal. Gas flow is divided into three types: viscous flow, molecular flow, and slip flow in the tran...
