Geologic and hydrologic research at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, West Valley, New York: final report

Description: "This report is the last in a series by the New York State Geological Survey on studies funded by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The report covers five important aspects of the geology and hydrology of the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, near West Valley, New York: geomorphology, stratigraphy, sedimentology, surface water, and radionuclide analyses. We reviewed past research on these subjects and present new data obtained in the final phase of NYSGS research at the site. Also … more

NOZ-FLAW: A Finite Element Program for Direct Evaluation of Stress Intensity Factors for Pressure Vessel Nozzle-Corner Flaws

Description: From Abstract. "This report describes a linear elastic finite element computer program (NOZ-FLAW) which is used for the direct evaluation of mixed-mode stress intensity factors (K1, KII K111) along user-defined crack flaws at pressure-vessel nozzle corners." From Forward: "The work reported here was performed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and at the Georgia Institute of Technology under UCC-ND Subcontract No. 7565."

FRAPCON-2 : A Computer Code for the Calculation of Steady State Thermal-Mechanical Behavior of Oxide Fuel Rods

Description: FRAPCON-2 is a FORTRAN IV computer code that calculates the steady state response of light Mater reactor fuel rods during long-term burnup. The code calculates the temperature, pressure, deformation, and tai lure histories of a fuel rod as functions of time-dependent fuel rod power and coolant boundary conditions. The phenomena modeled by the code include (a) heat conduction through the fuel and cladding, (b) cladding elastic and plastic deformation, (c) fuel-cladding mechanical interaction, (d… more
