Measurements and Changes on SM-1 Core II During Period October 1, 1961 to May 30, 1962

Description: Tests at the SM-1 reactor are reported for the period October 1, 1961, to May 31, 1962. Loading changes were made in SM-1 Core II during the scheduled semiannual shutdowns in October to November 1961 and April to May 1962. Core physics tests include control rod bank calibrations, bank position at several temperature and xenon poison conditions vs core changes and energy release, shutdown neutron source decay and startup channel testing, and critical rod positions for stuck rod configurations.

Detailed Stress Analysis of SM-1 Steam Generator Tube Sheet

Description: The detailed stress analysis of the SM-1 steam generator tube sheet showed it to be safe from strain cycling damage. However, the pressure stresses were greater than the yield strength during the hydrostatic test. The differential between pressure stresses and yield strength indicates that some initial deformation may have taken place in the tube sheet. (auth)

Mathematical Analysis of Rippling of Type 1 Fuel Plates. Part 1

Description: Rippling phenomena due to heating in fuel plates of SM and PM type reactors are investigated analytically using small deflection theory of plates. Temperature variations across the width of the plate are accounted for. Detailed calculations are conducted for simply supported plates. It is found that within the limitations imposed by small deflection theory that the amplitude of the plate ripples induced by the heating is directly proportional to the initial amplitude. (auth)

Selection of Core Design No. 1 for Type 5 Replacement Cores in SM-1 and SM-1A

Description: Nuclear and thermal analyses were performed to determine the characteristics of the Type 5 core in the SM-1 and SM-1A reactor plants as a function of geometry and composition. The following nuclear properties were investigated: core energy release, maximum midlife reactivity, average fuel burnup fraction, B-10 reactivity coefficient, and power distribution. Thermal parameter surveys determined the effects of channel thickness and power distribution upon the DNBR, nominal and hot channel thermal… more

Detailed Stress Analysis of PM-2A Steam Generator for Tube Sheet

Description: A detailed analysis of the PM-2A steam generator tube sheet revealed that is is safe from strain cycling damage. The pressure stresses, however, indicated that permanent deformation would take place in the tube sheet at hydrostatic test pressure of 1.5 times design pressure. (auth)

Correlation of Critical Mass Data on Light Water Moderated, Fully Enriched Uranium, Stainless Steel Reactors. Part 1

Description: Experimental data were collected on over 70 light water moderated, fully enriched uranium, stainless steel, critical cores. An equation for the critical mass of cores with a buckling of 0.007 cm/sup -2/ that is lineally dependent on stainless steel volume fraction and grams of B/sup 10/ was compared with available critical experiments and found to yield reasonable results. A correlation method, relating buckling to ( xi SIGMA /sub s// SIGMA /sub a/) was found to fit the available experiments. (… more
