Abstract
Results of experimental investigations of the advanced fuel assembly ÒÂÑÀ with mixing grids (TBCA-12PLUS, TBCA-T.mod.2) are presented. The experimental equipment and results of experimental investigations of a critical heat flux on models ÒÂÑÀ with mixing grids are described. The experimental investigations were conducted on 19-rod models TBCA with three intermediate mixing grids including models with uniform and non-uniform axial heating. On the basis of the obtained experimental data for ÒÂÑÀ with mixing grids the correlation for critical heat flux calculation is developed and the thermal diffusion coefficient is determined. The validation results of subchannel thermo-hydraulic code KANAL for coolant local temperatures and critical heat flux in ÒÂÑÀ with mixing grids are presented.
