Design of production test IP-280-A-FP: Irradiation of alloyed dingot uranium fuel elements

Description: Objective of this test is to authorize irradiation of alloyed, low hydrogen dingot uranium fuel elements on a pilot scale, and to monitor their performance. Initially, 25 tons per month of alloyed, low hydrogen dingot material will be charged for two months. Measured charges will be loaded with the initial 25 tons to monitor the stability of this material. Following a two-month delay in the monitor charging, and if the dingot meets all specifications, routine charging of quantities up to 60 ton… more

Net return course - operational severity index formuli

Description: This document presents a nomograph from which the relationship between reactor operating parameters, tube power, and outlet temperature can be correlated with rupture rate. The index indicates the severity of the reactor climate during irradiation and does not include the metal quality parameters defined in the rupture rate equation. The general form of the Operational Severity Index Equation is OSI=P{sup 3.3}/1000{times}t{sub 0}{sup 8.7}/100, where OSI, is the unitless Operational Severity Ind… more

Increased production from deliberate discharge cycling

Description: Considerable production gains might be attained if each reactor discharged its entire flattened region during one scheduled outage instead of utilizing several outages for this purpose. Several of the older reactors are now discharging a high percentage of their flattened zones in a single outage and could be put into this type of operation with relatively little difficulty. Production gains may be possible through better flattening efficiency, a more favorable rupture rate effect, fewer non-eq… more

Analysis of 100-K emergency water requirements after CGI-844 pump failure

Description: The demand plot has a 5-set, modified pump decay curve; it shows that 20,000 gpm emergency flow would be required within 80 seconds of complete pump power failure. Bases for the demand curve are constant bulk inlet temperature of 2 C, constant bulk outlet temperature of 95 C, K-3 I&E fuel elements, and initial reactor flow of 188,000 gpm.

A Simple Calibration and Checking Facility for Fast and Slow Neutron Detectors

Description: From introduction: The principal work described below is the development and tests of a slow neutron flux generator based on a generator developed at the University of California (UCRL 8359, W. Patterson, Roger Wallace, "A Method of Calibrating Slow Neutron Detectors"). It is shown that a tolerance flux density of slow neutrons results within a cubical cavity 15 inches on an edge with 4-inch-thick walls of water or paraffin wax when a plutonium-beryllium source emitting about 7 million neutrons… more
