Maritime Loop Irrradiation Program - Savannah I Fuel Irradiation: Progress Report First and Second Quarters, July, 1960-January, 1961

Description: The General Electric Company is proceeding with an irradiation program to proof test a representative array of Savannah I fuel rods. Irradiation of a test assembly containing Savannah I fuel rods has begun and it is proposed that the results of this irradiation will permit an advance evaluation of the fuel performance and fuel burnup in the Savannah I reactor. This report covers the first two quarters of the reporting period. All aspects of the subject program have been consolidated and applica… more

Mechanical, Fluid Flow, and Heat Transfer Out-Of-Pile Tests on EVESR MKI Prototype Fuel Bundle

Description: Summary: An EVESR MKI prototype fuel bundle was fully instrumented and operated intermittently for a 5-month period at the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Moss Landing Power Station. The vessel was operated up to 1000 psi with steam flows from 3000 to 26,600 lb/h, and steam inlet temperatures up to 825 degrees F. Data was recorded for blowout, vibration, flow distribution, heat transfer and pressure drop. The mechanical integrity of the fuel bundle, riser, and jumper system was satisfact… more

Transition and Film Boiling Data at 600, 1000, and 1400 PSIA in Forced Convection Heat Transfer to Water

Description: Summary: Data were obtained in a two-road test section which consisted of two 7/16-inch diameter heater rods inside a roughly rectangular flow area. The heated length of the rods was 30 inches, with a 15-inch unheated calming length preceding it. Heater wall temperatures were recorded while the heater tubes were trans-versing the critical heat flux and transition boiling; these temperatures were used to calculate heat transfer coefficients. The following general results were obtaining: (a)… more

Specific Zirconium Alloy Design Program Quarterly Progress Report: Seventh Quarter, October - December, 1963

Description: Summary: All experimental work under the Corrosion Mechanism task has been completed. The remaining topical reports are being prepared by D. L. Douglass, now on assignment at Mol. Experimental work on the first round of 31 alloys and on the second round of 10 alloys has been completed. Steam exposures of at least 3000 hours were finished for all the alloys at all test temperatures, with exposures of some coupons to 6700 hours. Mathematical expression have been derived to describe all first r… more

General Corrosion of Incoloy-800 in Simulated Superheat Reactor Environment

Description: The 300 series stainless steels had been selected originally as the reference fuel cladding material for utilization in several superheat reactor (SHR) systems being built as part of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) program. The adequacy of the general corrosion resistance of Type-304 stainless steel for superheat fuel cladding was confirmed in the Phase I portion of the study reported previously. Fuel jacket failures that occurred in Type-304 stainless clad fuel elements exp… more

Specific Zirconium Alloy Design Program Quarterly Progress Report: Sixth Quarter, July - September, 1963

Description: Summary: Fundamental studies in support of the alloy design work are complete except for the experimental determination of the diffusion of oxygen in alloy-doped non-stoichiometric ZrO2. Over 100 oxidation runs have now been made on samples of ZrO2 doped with 1 mole percent of the oxides of Al, Y, Fe, Cr, and Ni. The first round testing of 31 alloys is now essentially complete. Analysis of the steam corrosion rate and hydriding raw data taken at 300, 400, and 500 degrees C indicates that Zr-C… more

Fuel Cycle Program Design and Fabrication of Special Assembly 10-L : Compacted Powder Fuel Rods Clad With 0.127-MM Wall Stainless Steel

Description: Technical report describing sixteen fuel rods clad with thin type 304 stainless steel and filled with vibratory compact powder UO2 that were fabricated and incorporated into a bundle for irradiation testing in the VBWR. The UO2 powders were tested for gas content. N2, CO, and H2 were the principal gases evolved by both type of UO2, but the arc-fused UO2 released about ten times as much gas as the Dyna Pak UO2. The amount of gas released was also a function of particle size and temperature. The… more
