Comparison of heat flux and flow limits for HEU and UMo – cores at forced flow operation conditions. 6. Conclusions Detailed thermal-hydraulics analyses have been performed by PLTEMP/ANL V3.6 code for the BR2, HEU and LEU fuelled cores at steady-state operation under the conditions of forced flow cooling. The following results were obtained at nominal initial operation conditions, with included HCF and actual coolant flow of 10.4 m/s. For HEU core: - the maximum output power to ONB (Bergles & Rohsenow) is equal to 4.0 MW and to 4.5 MW (Forster & Greif) for the single phase heat transfer correlation of Sieder-Tate and to 3.2 MW (B. & R.) and to 3.6 MW (F. & G.) for the single phase heat transfer 201 of 455
