PRESSURE DROP EXPERIMENTS OF THE TITLE II FUEL ASSEMBLY FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GAS COOLED REACTOR. SECTION III OF THE FUEL ASSEMBLY HEAT TRANSFER AND CHANNEL PRESSURE DROP EXPERIMENTS FOR THE EGCR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Description: Data are presented on the pressure drop tests of the Title II fuel assembly design modification and refinements as occurred during the Title II test phase. All tests were conducted with the chosen 3.000-in. ID fuel assembly sleeve and with the outer six tubes of the seven-tabe cluster located on a 2.000- in. dia bolt circle. The tests included two designs of spider support pieces and three designs of midlength spacers. The pressure loss data are presented in the form of velocity head coefficien… more

Final Report on the Pinot Experiment

Description: The Pinot Project was designed to provide some indication of the extent to which gases from a confined underground explosion in oil shale would migrate parallel to the bedding planes. At 0800 on Aug. 2, 1960, 946 lb of nitromethane was fired in shot hole No. 1. There was no visible damage to the mine adit or to any structure associated with cation of the extent to which gases from a confined underground explosion in oil shale would migrate parallel to the bedding planes.
