Reactor Fuse Propellants and Configurations

Description: Results are compiled from a series of experimental tests of three types of propellants for reactor safety fuses and various configurations of the fuse. Compressed gas, explosive gases, and solid chemical propellants are discussed; the latter proved to be the best. A symmetrical annular fuse configuration was found to be best when compared with the offset type, the supportedrupture-disk type, and the GE-ANPD original developmental type fuse. (auth)
