SL-1 Annual Operating Report: February, 1960-January 3, [1961]

Description: The Stationary Low Power Reactor No. 1 (SL-1) was a boiling water reactor demonstration plant for remote military bases. The plant had been operated by Combustion Engineering, Inc. from February, l959 until January 3, 1961 at which time a nuclear excursion rendered the plant inoperable, This report summarizes the of operations of maintenance, test, health and safety, and administrative activities for the year February, 1960 until the incident.

Failure Analysis of Cracked Head Spray Piping from the Dresden Unit 2 Boiling Water Reactor

Description: Several sections of Type 304 stainless steel head spray piping, 6.25 cm (2.5 in.) in diameter, from the Dresden Unit 2 Boiling Water Reactor were examined to determine the nature and causes of coolant leakages detected during hydrostatic tests. Extensive pitting was observed on the outside surface of the piping, and three cracks, all located at a helical stripe apparently rubbed onto the outer surface of the piping, were also noted. Metallographic examination revealed that the cracking had init… more

Project Plan for the Decontamination and Decommissioning of the Argonne National Laboratory Experimental Boiling Water Reactor

Description: In 1956, the Experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR) Facility was first operated at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) as a test reactor to demonstrate the feasibility of operating an integrated power plant using a direct cycle boiling water reactor as a heat source. In 1967, ANL permanently shut down the EBWR and placed it in dry lay-up. This project plan presents the schedule and organization for the decontamination and decommissioning of the EBWR Facility which will allow it to be reused by… more

Reactor Physics of Teapot - Part 3

Description: Introduction: This is the third of a series of memoranda concerning the statics of the teapot, a small-scale boiling reactor experiment, and covers power coefficients of reactivity, energy coefficients of fluid density, the poisoning effects of fission products, and production of gases. The numbering of the equations, figures, and tables thus follows that of CF 52-6-118.

Physics Design of the Mixed Spectrum Critical Assembly

Description: Summary: The Mixed Spectrum Superheater (MSSR) is an integral superheater reactor in which boiling occurs in an annular Boiling Water Reactor section and steam in superheated in an unmoderated fast section in the center. A Mixed Spectrum Critical Assembly (MSCA) to be operated at the Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory has been designed to mock up a 75-150 MWe prototype MSSR. The principal experimental measurements aimed at proving the feasibility of the MSSR concept include power distribution, Dopple… more

High Power Density Development Project: Potter Meter Calibration and Instrumented Fuel Bundle Pressure Drop

Description: Summary: Technical report describing the testing of eight Potter Meters, for metering inlet flow and measuring exit steam qualities in the Consumers Big Rock Point Instrumented Fuel Assemblies, were individually calibrated for flow and pressure drop up to 500 gpm in the low temperature (130 F) fluid flow facility. The flow calibration comparison made with an ASME orifice installation, agreed to within + - 1 percent among seven of the meters, and meter Serial No. 8 was 2.8 percent lower than th… more

Transition Boiling Heat Transfer Program; Third Quarterly Progress Report, July - September 1963

Description: Summary: Initial critical heat flux, transition boiling temperature fluctuation, and film boiling coefficient data have been obtained on a two-rod cluster assembly at 1000 psia and 25 to 90 percent steam qualities. A representation showing the range of critical heat flux data is presented. Typical temperature recordings which indicate transition and film boiling behavior are shown. Fabrication of a new high pressure observational test section is nearly complete. An optical table and illuminatio… more
