Characterization of through-wall aerosol transmission for SCC-like geometries

Durbin, S.G.; Lindgren, Eric R.; Pulido, Ramon P.

The flow rates and aerosol transmission properties were evaluated for an engineered microchannel with characteristic dimensions similar to those of stress corrosion cracks (SCCs) capable of forming in dry cask storage systems (DCSS) for spent nuclear fuel. Pressure differentials covering the upper limit of commercially available DCSS were also examined. These preliminary data sets are intended to demonstrate a new capability to characterize SCCs under well-controlled boundary conditions.
