ORNL NUCLEAR SAFETY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
BIMONTHLY REPORT FOR MAY - JUNE 1967
Wm. B. Cottrell
ABSTRACT . J
The accomplishments of the research and development program being
undertaken at ORNL as part of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's Nuclear
Safety Program during the months of May and June are summarized. Included
in this report are work on various chemical reactions, as well as the
release, characterization, and transport of fission products in containment
systems under various accident conditions and on problems associated with
the removal of these fission products from gas streams. Although most of
the work has been in the past, and continues to be, in general support of
water power reactor technology including some in direct support of the
LOFT and CSE programs, several projects are conducted in support of the
High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) Program, including both in-pile
and out-pile studies of the reaction rates and fission product release and
transport phenomena. Other major projects include fuel transport safety
investigations, a series of discussion papers on various aspects of water
reactor technology, anti-seismic design of nuclear facilities, and the
studies of pressure vessel technology. Experimental work relative to
pressure vessel technology includes investigations of the attachment of
nozzles to shells and the implementation of this joint AEC-PURC programs
on Heavy Section Steel Technology and Nuclear Piping Pumps and Valves.
Several of the projects are concerned with the development of engineering
safeguards and the establishment of codes and standards for these safe-
guards while another task (CHORDS) is concerned with the establishment of
computer programs for the evaluation of reactor design data. The recent
activities of the NSIC and the Nuclear Safety journal in behalf of the
nuclear community are also discussed.
