U.S. PARTICIPATION IN THE OEEC HALDEN REACTOR PROJECT, MAY 1959 TO SEPTEMBER 1960

Description: The Halden Boiling Water Reactor, located in Halden, Norway, is an experimental process steam producer using D/sub 2/O as moderator and coolant. The reactor was first brought to criticality on June 29, 1959. A low-power, low- temperature physics program with two core loadings has been completed. Mathematical models of the reactor and plant have been developed and used in an analog computer study of dynamic behavior. Engineering activities have included design and procurement of a second core of… more

Decomposition of Water at High Temperatures and Pressures Under Reactor Irradiation

Description: Partial abstract: "The investigation of the high temperature and pressure dissociation of water under irradiation was undertaken by the Power Pile Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in an effort to determine the degree of importance of the phenomenon with respect to the design of a high temperature water-cooled power reactor. Theory and past experimentation indicate that net steady-state dissociation is determined by the rates of the dissociation and recombination reactions under the imp… more

Hazards Evaluation Report Associated with the Operation of EBWR at 100 MW

Description: Hazard report on the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor that covers the basic modifications to the plant as designed to increase the present operating design rating of 20 Mw(t) to a new rating of 100 Mw(t). Changes and additions to the plant, core, reactor vessel, and other major components are shown. An analysis of the effects of the changes on the performance and safety of the reactor is presented.

Hazards Evaluation Report Associated with the Operation of EBWR at 100 MW

Description: From Introduction: "This hazards report covers the basic modifications to the EBWR plant as designed to increase the present operating design rating of 20 Mwt to a new rating of 100 Mwt. it is written as a supplement to ANL-5781 (the original hazards report) and follows the outline of that report for purposes of cross reference."
