NS SAVANNAH UPGRADING ANALOG COMPUTER ANALYSIS

Description: An extensive transient analysis was made of the NS Savannah power plant using analog computer technique to determine the control and safety system actions required to prevent plant damage following operating and accident transients. This work amplified previous design studies by considering accidents of greater severity, automatic limiting devices to preclude safety action, and more realistic parameters based on operating experience. The following transients were analyzed; startup accident, rod… more

An Evaluation of the Substitution of Zircaloy for Stainless Steel in n.s. Savannah Fuel-Element Containers. Summary Report

Description: The possibility of reducing fuel-cycle costs for the N.S. SAVANNAH by replacing the stainless steel fuelelement containers in the permanent reactor core structure by similar containers of a zirconium alloy was investigated. These containers, although not integral parts of the fuel-bearing components, are located within the active core and divide the core into 32 separate channels into which the fuel elements are placed. Areas of investigation included reactor physics, fuel-cycle economics, mate… more
