Plant Expansion Task Force technical feasibility and R&D efforts

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The Expansion Study Task Force has evaluated several cases of Hanford reactor operation at power levels considerably higher than is presently obtained in the six older reactors. These higher power levels result in more rigorous operating conditions of temperature, heat flux, neutron flux, hydraulics, reactor control, etc. The purpose of this document, the various components of which were prepared by Process and Reactor Development Sub-Section personnel, is to assess the technical feasibility of operation under the proposed conditions, and to delineate those specific areas of development effort which may be necessary to provide adequate support for an expansion program.
