Interim Report: Faret Experimental Program

Description: From Introduction: "The Fast Reactor Test (FARET) program is part of the United States Fast Reactor Program directed toward the demonstration of breeder reactors essential to the long-range goal of utilizing fertile fuels. (1) With-in this program is the current thinking that the early construction and operation of two or three prototype nuclear power plants of the order of 250 Mw(e) will lead eventually to the construction of practical and economic full scale breeder reactors by the early 1980… more

Irradiation of an Aluminum Alloy-Clad Ceramic Pellet-Fueled Plate

Description: From Introduction: "An experiment, designated MTR-W10, was designed to determine the effects of high burnup on the cladding and fuel of an aluminum-1% nickel alloy (M-388)-clad ceramic pellet-fuelded plate if the type manufactured at Argonne for the BORAX-IV core. Conditions of irradiation were selected to allow local boiling at the high flux end of the plate at a pressure of 600 psig."

A laboratory Ivestigation of the Fluorination of Crude Uranium Tertrafluoride

Description: Ore concentrates have been converted directly to crude uranium tetrafluoride by hydrogen reduction and hydrofluorination in fluidized-bed reactors. Small-scale laboratory experiments demonstrated that this process can be extended to the production of crude uranium hexafluoride through fluorination of the uranium tetrafluoride in a fluidized bed. The satisfactory temperature range for the reaction lies between 300°C and 600°C. At 450°C the fluorine utilization is between 50 and 80 per cent. With… more

The Manufacture of Enriched ZPR-III Fuel Plates

Description: This report is essentially a procedural account of the fabrication of certain enriched ZPR-III fuel plates for use in the ANL fast critical experiments at Arco, Idaho. A total of 208.92 kilograms of fully enrich, unalloyed uranium was processed. Of this amount 202.74 kilograms was received in the form of Oak Ridge type reduction buttons and 6.18 kilograms as pressed-powder plates. The completed fabrication consisted of 720 rectangular fuel plates having the nominal dimensions 3in. x 2in. x 1/8i… more

The Manufacture of Internal Blanket and Fuel Blanket Slugs for the Experimental Breeder Reactor

Description: Surrounding the core of the Experimental Breeder Reactor (EBR) is located the Internal Blanket (see Figure 2 of Reference 1). This blanket is compromised of natural uranium rods jacketed in stainless steel. The active portion of each rod is made up of five natural uranium slugs 0.873" diameter x 4.050" long. The slugs, stacked one of top of another, are held together and protected by a drawn-on stainless steel tube with welded and closures. These internal blanket rods are located inside the ext… more

Metallurgy Division Quarterly Report [for] October, November, and December 1955

Description: A total of nine clad plates, containing uranium -5 w/o zirconium 1.5 w/o niobium alloy cores and clad with Zircaloy-II, were rolled in plain carbon steel jackets, heat treated, physically evaluated, and corrosion tested. All these plates were found to be within predetermined dimensional tolerance in width, thickness, length, cladding thickness, and core distribution. Improved control of wielding variables and of the length of the seal pin projecting above the end plugs resulted in the eliminati… more

On The Steady-State Thermal Stresses in Cylindrical Fuel Pins Due to Axial Variations in Their Internal Heat-Generation Rate

Description: From Introduction: "Specifically, we shall be concerned with the case of a solid right circular cylinder of infinite axial extent, having a stress-free outer boundary, being cooled by a temperature-independent boundary conductance, and having an axial heat-generation rate of form shown in Fig. 1. The inclusion of a radial dependence proportional to I^0(r/L) is only a minor complication in solving the required heat-transfer problem and, for reference, has been included in the solution for the te… more
