PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF A HYDROGEN-COOLED IN-PILE LOOP FOR THE EGCR

Description: A discussion is presented concerning the preliminary design and hazards evaluation of a H-cooled in-pile experimental loop for operation in the large double-walled through-tube in the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) at Oak Ridge. This loop is designed to permit experimentation with full-scale fuel element configurations up to 8 in. OD, at inlet gas temperatures of 600 to 950 deg F at 300 psig, and experimental power levels up to 500 kw. The results of a preliminary hazards evaluation ind… more

An Investigation of the Corrosion Resistance of Brazing Alloys for Austenitic Stainless Steel Fuel Elements for Service in 565 F Pressurized Water

Description: Since brazing was the method selected for joining the stainless steel SM- l reactor fuel element, corrosion studies were conducted on various potential brazing alloys to evaluate their resistance under the approximate pressurized- water conditions of the SM-1. The program consisted mainly of testing type 304L stainless steel T'' joints brazed with selected alloys in quiescent, degassed, and deionized autoclaved water at 565 deg F under 1200-psi pressure. In the initial phase of the investigatio… more

Carbon Transport and Corrosion in High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors

Description: It is noted that in high-temperature He-cooled graphite reactors, sufficiently high levels of gaseous impurities can lead to transport and corrosion effects. The possible effects of these reactions in graphite-moderated reactors designed to operate at a He-coolant pressure of a about 20 atm. were investigated. Results are included on C transport, steam-graphite reactions, and deposition of C on surfaces. (J.R.D.)

Two-Phase Pressure Losses Second Quarterly Progress Report May 12-August 12, 1962

Description: This is the second quarterly report on the work done under Contract AT(04-3)-189, Project Agreement No. 27. The results reported here have to do primarily with the loss in a rectangular (1/2" x 1-3/4") channel in the horizontal orientation, without contraction-expansion inserts.
