Description

After an experimental survey of eight different models of pressure transducers, a system with fast response was developed to measure pressures in the KEWB reactor. The transducers used in the system operate in an environment which presents a high radiation level but which has temperatures that are quite low for a reactor. Thus they would not be suitable for use in a power reactor because of the temperature limitation. Since installation of this pressuremeasuring system in the KEWB reactor, the recombiner tests and transient experiments have been completed, and observations have been made of explosion pressures. Two very useful pieces … continued below

Description

After an experimental survey of eight different models of pressure transducers, a system with fast response was developed to measure pressures in the KEWB reactor. The transducers used in the system operate in an environment which presents a high radiation level but which has temperatures that are quite low for a reactor. Thus they would not be suitable for use in a power reactor because of the temperature limitation. Since installation of this pressuremeasuring system in the KEWB reactor, the recombiner tests and transient experiments have been completed, and observations have been made of explosion pressures. Two very useful pieces of special equipment were developed in the course of this project. One was the remotely controlled shock tube, which was used for testing transducers and was operable in the reactor through-tube. The other was the dual DADEE circuit developed to compensate for ringing and insufficiently fast response in transducers with two degrees of freedom. (auth)
