MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR APPR-1 CORE II CONTROL ROD FUEL ELEMENTS AND ABSORBER SECTIONS

Description: The control rod fuel elements consist of 16 flat composite fuel plates joined to a pair of side plates to form an integral assembly with a nominal water gap spacing of 0.133 inches between fueL plates. The core section of the fuel plate contains an active fuel section and a flux suppressor section. The fuel section is composed of UO/sub 2/, B/sub 4/C, and type 304LB stainless steel. The suppressor section is composed of Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3/ and elemental stainless steel powder. The absorber sectio… more

SM-2 REACTOR CORE AND VESSEL REVIEW REPORT FOR PERIOD DECEMBER 15, 1959 TO MARCH 18, 1960

Description: The SM-2 core lifetime was calculated and stuck rod criteria formulated. The control system could shutdown the core under the most adverse conditions with any single rod stuck out. The one-half-inch Eu/sub 2/O/sub 3/ flux supressors adequately supressed the power spike at the bottom of the core. The nuclear effects of increasing the dimensione of the fuel matrix were calculated. A new analysis of various reactivity measuremerts performed durirg the SM-2 critical experiments was made to test the… more
