Some NPR production variables

Description: In connection with current updating of the NPR testimony, calculations of NPR production parameters have been made for a variety of assumed operating conditions. All cases assume operation at full design power of 4,000 MW. Initial and final enrichments and plutonium production per MWD of exposure have been calculated for a nominal 22 lb/ft. metallic uranium fuel element at exposures of 1,000, 1,400, and 2,000 MWD/T; 23 lb/ft. fuel element at 1,000 MWD/T; 24 lb/ft. element at 1,000 and 2,000 MWD… more

Tritium production using highly enriched fuel

Description: Preliminary studies utilizing the MOFDA code have been made for tritium production at the K reactors using 33 and 35 grams per foot oralloy (93.5% U-235) in aluminum in conjunction with standard K5N and K5E fuel elements, respectively. For this report, it was assumed that all tritium would be produced in discrete charges of LiAl target elements. It is intended that the study will be extended at some later time to include LiAl splines. The analysis includes the effect of coolant loss on reactivi… more
