Description
It is the purpose of this document to provide assistance to the Manufacturing Section personnel in determining their future operating plans. In general, the inter-relationship of such engineering parameters as flow, reactor orificing, rupture performance, etc. has been considered. The effect of these engineering parameters are summed up in our recommendations for {open_quotes}Operating Plans{close_quotes} shown graphically in this document. It is to be emphasized that these plans do not reflect operational considerations which may modify the desirability of the indicated level increases nor has allowance been made for ability of the indicated level increases nor has allowance been made for major projects, major maintenance outages, or major changes in pile loadings. Many factor, which only Manufacturing personnel are capable of evaluating, may make it desirable to operate below or above these {open_quotes}Operating Plans.{close_quotes} These {open_quotes}plans{close_quotes} are based on incremental metal cost and burnout cost estimates obtained recently from L. W. Lang. A change in these assumed costs would require a revision to be made to these {open_quotes}plans.{close_quotes} It is also to be noted that many of the engineering parameters and basic assumptions which have been factored into these {open_quotes}plans{close_quotes} are subject to continual re-evaluation and revision. Thus, in a strict sense, these {open_quotes}plans{close_quotes} are outdated even as they are published. However, their value will lie primarily in illustrating the approximate conditions under which each reactor can be operating for the balance of CY-1960; thus, permitting some perspective of individual and collective reactor operation. Process Engineering will continue to make specific power level or operational severity recommendations on a current basis as changes in engineering parameters, i.e., rupture performance, flow and loading consideration, safety limits, etc. dictate.
