Experimental investigation of BWR Suppression Pool stratification during RCIC system operation

•An experiment at Texas A&M University explored extended RCIC System operations.•Thermal stratification in Suppression Pools was found to develop and later disappear.•Greater containment pressure led to much greater vertical thermal stratification. In Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) nuclear power pl...
