Abstract

This paper describes the basic heat transfer phenomena and the predictive techniques which are particularly important in nuclear reactor safety, and also presents the state-of-the-art of reactor heat transfer. Previous review papers are identified. Emphasis is placed on recently published information, and areas are noted where research efforts should be encouraged.
