1000-MWe LMFBR Follow-On Study, Task I Report: Volume 1

Description: From introduction: "The objective of this study is to provide information that will assist the Atomic Energy Commission in furthering the National Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) Program. We plan to accomplish this end, in part, by extending the original studies to include system and component design and parametric evaluations of the nuclear steam supply system and its related systems and subsystems based on an estimation of the state of technology in 1980."

Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Hot Exponential Experiment

Description: A series of exponential experiments were performed using Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor oxide type fuel pins in a light water lattice. These experiments were performed in a new facility where measurements were made at temperatures up to 468 F. In addition, boric acid was added to the system in various concentrations. The main objective of these experiments was to obtain the change in material buckling for the system as operating conditions were changed from ambient temperature to high t… more

Geometric and Temperature Effects in Thorium Resonance Capture for the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor

Description: Although there have been several previous investigations of neutron resonance absorption in thorium, knowledge in this area has not been sufficiently accurate nor extensive enough to satisfy the practical requirements of thorium breeder reactor design. The present experiment was performed in an effort to reduce this uncertainty by checking and extending the results of previous measurements of the geometric and temperature dependence of thorium resonance integrals. The experimental procedure w… more

Development and Testing of Low Cost Fuel Elements for Power Reactor Service

Description: The development of swaging and vibratory compaction process for fabrication of clad UO2 fuel rods is described. The cost is less than 50% of that for an equivalent core fabricated from pellets. The irradiation testing of vibratory filled and swaged UO2 rods is reported for burn-ups from 2,000 to 12,000 Mwd/t UO2; the results indicate that the rods are capable of excellent performance power reactors.

Nuclear Merchant Ship Reactor: Determination of the Purification Rate for Normal Operation

Description: The objective of this study is to establish a primary loop purification rate for normal operation to (1) maintain the activity created in the primary coolant water by corrosion products and other impurities (excluding fission products) at tolerable level and (2) minimize the crud deposition on the core heat-transfer surfaces.

Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment Monthly Progress Statement: June 1957

Description: A monthly report summarizing work perform by Babcock & Wilcox personnel for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. This month's report includes information on various factors entering into the estimate of reference design core which has been analyzed for sources of error, further design and testing procedures on the nuclear core, and other work focused on construction and design elements.
