RADIOISOTOPE FUELED AUXILIARY POWER UNIT. Quarterly Progress Report No. 6, April 1958-July 1958

Description: A modular concept has evolved which permits testing of SNAP-1 as an attachable unit. Integrity testing of fuel elements in simulated pad aborts is reported. The adequacy of a full-scale boiler mockup in vaporizing mercury at the design point was tested; a new boiler coil designed to prevent slugging was tested. The sintering properties of CeO/sub 2/ were further investigated. Dynamic mercury corrosion testing of Croloy 5 Si and Croloy 5 Ti is reported. Static lead tests of CeO/sub 2/ pellets, b… more

IRRADIATION EFFECTS ON UC$sub 2$ DISPERSED IN GRAPHITE. Final Report

Description: Postirradiation examinations were performed on four fuel cylinders containing UC/sub 2/ dispersed in graphite and sealed in low permeability graphite cans irradiated in the MTR. In all but one experiment, a flowing stream of He passed over the outside of the graphite cans. The estimated fuel cylinder central temperatures ranged from 2500 to 3500 deg F, and the maximum U/sup 235/ burnup was 21%. The most important radiation effects were fuel dimensional change, fission product and U migration, a… more
