Abstract
Results are described of experiments in power surge in an annular chan nel with stationary coolant at low pressures. It is revealed that shoc k processes of the steam explosion type occur, whose distinguishing fe ature is that it arises as a result of destruction of the steam envelo pe around a fuel element.
