heat output of SCRAMed nuclear reactor

heat output of SCRAMed nuclear reactor
Does anyone have any reference to the heat output of the nuclear fuel in a Diichi unit 1 type reactor after the control rods are inserted? I am trying to estimate how much water flow is required to cool it, how much salt must be building up in the reactor vessel, and whether there is any chance that seawater pumped into the reactor vessel to keep it cool would eventually deposite so much salt in the reactor that cooling fails do to clogging.
