Supplement F to Production Test IP-314-A authorized an upstream thermocouple train in KER-1. This document provides fuel element loadings, operating temperatures, and trip settings for two possible charges in KER-1, one using KSE-3 heater elements and the other using KSN-3 heater elements. For a charge containing KSE-3 elements, the loading and the operating conditions are given. For a charge containing KSN-3 elements, the loading and the operating conditions are given. The desired operating temperature and trip settings needed to maintain the maximum uranium temperature below 660 C are given. One of the thermocouples in the thermocouple element, however, indicates the …

Description
Supplement F to Production Test IP-314-A authorized an upstream thermocouple train in KER-1. This document provides fuel element loadings, operating temperatures, and trip settings for two possible charges in KER-1, one using KSE-3 heater elements and the other using KSN-3 heater elements. For a charge containing KSE-3 elements, the loading and the operating conditions are given. For a charge containing KSN-3 elements, the loading and the operating conditions are given. The desired operating temperature and trip settings needed to maintain the maximum uranium temperature below 660 C are given. One of the thermocouples in the thermocouple element, however, indicates the maximum uranium temperature directly. Based on the thermocouple readings, the outlet temperature and trip settings may be set to exceed or fall short of the values designated by the dashed lines provided. The temperatures do not exceed the limitations set by the solid lines which are based on the requirements that boiling will not occur on the fuel elements during normal operation and burnout will not occur at the limiting trip conditions. The maximum uranium temperature shall not exceed 660 C.
