A CORROSION STUDY OF WELDED STAINLESS STEEL FUEL ELEMENTS

Description: Fuel element corrosion studies designed to and in selecting and evaluating SM-2 fuel element welding techniques are discussed. Tests on type 347 ss plate type fuel elements welded by the selected tungsten inert gas technique showed good corrosion integrity of specimens under a variety of conditions including a 500-hr test under simulated SM-2 conditions of flow and coolant chemistry.

A Sodium-Graphite Reactor Steam-Electric Station for 75 Megawatts Net Generation

Description: The major design features, nuclear characteristics and performance data for a nuclear fueled central station power plant of 75,000 kw net capacity are presented. The heat source is a Na cooled graphite moderated reactor. The design of the reactor takes full advantage of the experience gained to date on the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE); the plant described here is a straightforward extension of the smaller experimental SRE, which is now under construction. The fuel elements are made up of rod… more

An Investigation of the Structural Integrity of Selected Components of the Oak Ridge Research Reactor

Description: An investigation was made to determine the structural behavior of selected components of the Oak Ridge Research Reactor for increased power level conditions. It was found that a reactor cooling water outlet temperature of 150 deg F will cause severe plastic strain cycling in the aluminum housings for the large test facilities. Increasing the reactor cooling water flow rate of 21,000 gpm will cause plastic deformations in certain reaons of the core box. These latter deformations can be tolerated… more

PERIODIC RADIATION SURVEY OF REACTOR PLANT CONTAINER AND COMPONENTS AFTER SHUTDOWN. CORE I, SEED I. SECTION 3. Test Results (T-612076)

Description: The effect of isolation and forced draining on the radiation level of the 1AC coolant purification hairpin loop was investigated. The activity in the horizontal and vertical legs (U-bend) of the loop piping was determined by a radiochemical analysis of the crud deposits. (C.J.G.)

An Investigation of Wellbore Scaling at the Miravalles Geothermal Field, Costa Rica

Description: Miravalles geothermal field lies in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica in Central America. At the time of the study (late 1982), three wells (named PGM-1, PGM-2 and PGM-3), had been drilled and periodically tested in this field during 1980-82. During several of these tests scaling of the wellbore appeared to be a serious problem. This paper presents a portion of a study conducted to define the nature and causes of the scaling problem. No new data were gathered during this study; it was based… more
