SYNBURN : a Fast-Reactor Fuel-Cycle Program

Description: The SYNBURN computer program for fast reactors will calculate all the neutronics necessary to completely characterize the equilibrium cycle as well as the startup to equilibrium cycles. The program's run time is very short and this makes the program suitable for survey of parametric studies. It can search on the cycle time for a specified burnup, for the shim control necessary for criticality as well as feed enrichments and the enrichment ratio among core zones. SYNBURN synthesizes in a very si… more

Preliminary Study, Isotopic Safeguards Techniques (IST), LMFBR Fuel Cycles

Description: This memorandum presents the preliminary results of the effort to investigate the applicability of isotope correlation techniques (ICT), formulated for the LWR system, to the LMFBR fuel cycle. The detailed isotopic compositional changes with burnup developed for the CRBR was utilized as the reference case. This differs from the usual LMFBR design studies in that the core uranium is natural uranium rather than depleted. Nevertheless, the general isotopic behavior should not differ significantly … more

A User's Guide for the REBUS-3 Fuel Cycle Analysis Capability

Description: REBUS-3 is a system of programs designed for the fuel-cycle analysis of fast reactors. This new capability is an extension and refinement of the REBUS-3 code system and complies with the standard code practices and interface dataset specifications of the Committee on Computer Code Coordination (CCCC). The new code is hence divorced from the earlier ARC System. In addition, the coding has been designed to enhance code exportability. >Major new capabilities not available in the REBUS-2 code syste… more

Postirradiation Examinations of Element G-3 from the GCFR F-1 Series of Mixed-Oxide Elements After Approximately 3 at.% Burnup

Description: Post-irradiation examinations were performed on element G-3, from the GCFR F-1 series of mixed-oxide elements, after 2.6 at. % burnup in EBR-II. The 20% cold-worked Type 316 stainless steel clad G-3 element was irradiated as an encapsulated element using a stainless steel thermal barrier to achieve peak cladding temperatures of 690 degrees C at a peak power of 14.4 kW/ft. The maximum diametral increase of the element was 0.2% ..delta..D/D₀. The volatile fission products were found just above th… more

Yankee Core Evaluation Program Quarterly Progress Report: July-September 1963

Description: From introduction: The potential of this study as a basis for the evaluation of reactor core design methods is very great. It represents the first opportunity of its kind in relation to the design of low enriched, uranium fueled, light water moderated reactors. Sufficient information should be available to obtain a good fit between the experimental results and a combination of basic physical data and computer programs. The degree of accuracy of this fit will be evaluated. This information will … more
