Geometric and Temperature Effects in Thorium Resonance Capture for the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor

Description: Although there have been several previous investigations of neutron resonance absorption in thorium, knowledge in this area has not been sufficiently accurate nor extensive enough to satisfy the practical requirements of thorium breeder reactor design. The present experiment was performed in an effort to reduce this uncertainty by checking and extending the results of previous measurements of the geometric and temperature dependence of thorium resonance integrals. The experimental procedure w… more

Corrosion Product Activity Distribution Across the Chemical Process System in the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Plant

Description: A study has been performed to determine the corrosion product and water impurity activities in the CETR Chemical Process System. A simplified mathematical model is used to represent the physical situation; however, the magnitude of the activities, taken at the end of the core life to represent the most conservative case, is considered sufficiently accurate for engineering calculations.

Design of the Movable and Fixed Control Components for the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor

Description: Prototype testing and thorough design analyses have proven the control components for the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor are adequate to withstand loads imposed during operation and handling. Assumptions made in the design analyses and cycles run during prototype testing subjected the components to more rigid conditions that are anticipated during actual operation. Results indicate the control components meet their design requirements.

Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Hot Exponential Experiment

Description: A series of exponential experiments were performed using Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor oxide type fuel pins in a light water lattice. These experiments were performed in a new facility where measurements were made at temperatures up to 468 F. In addition, boric acid was added to the system in various concentrations. The main objective of these experiments was to obtain the change in material buckling for the system as operating conditions were changed from ambient temperature to high t… more

1000-MWe LMFBR Follow-On Study, Task I Report: Volume 1

Description: From introduction: "The objective of this study is to provide information that will assist the Atomic Energy Commission in furthering the National Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) Program. We plan to accomplish this end, in part, by extending the original studies to include system and component design and parametric evaluations of the nuclear steam supply system and its related systems and subsystems based on an estimation of the state of technology in 1980."
