The work described in this report was authorized under Development Test IP-419-E. The primary objective of this study was to establish the stress, hydraulic and vibration conditions which exist in KE Reactor rear face piping components under maximum presently authorized operating conditions and evaluate these conditions from the standpoint of continuity of reactor operation. Test data were recorded at various levels of operation up to and including the maximum authorized bulk outlet temperature. The data recorded during this test were used to establish model conditions for Project OGI-883. With model conditions established, additional tests will be conducted to explore the …

Description
The work described in this report was authorized under Development Test IP-419-E. The primary objective of this study was to establish the stress, hydraulic and vibration conditions which exist in KE Reactor rear face piping components under maximum presently authorized operating conditions and evaluate these conditions from the standpoint of continuity of reactor operation. Test data were recorded at various levels of operation up to and including the maximum authorized bulk outlet temperature. The data recorded during this test were used to establish model conditions for Project OGI-883. With model conditions established, additional tests will be conducted to explore the possibility of operating the reactor in regions above the present limiting bulk outlet temperatures. The test, as outlined in the development tests document, has been conducted and the pressure, temperature, vibration, and stress data has been tabularly and graphically compiled. Indicated hydraulic conditions have been substantiated theoretically with reasonable accuracy. A drawing indicating the instrumentation locations is provided in Appendix IV of this report.
