Rear face hardware replacement 105-B, D, DR, F, and H

Description: Prior to the use of venturis on the front of the B, D, DR, P, and H Reactors, much of the pressure and velocity heads developed by the 190 process water pumps were used in overcoming built-in frictional losses in the system external to the process tubes. As Reactor Technology was gained, changes were continually taking place. Venturis replaced orifices installed during original construction. Hydraulically efficient front nozzles, front pigtails, front adaptors, and a second generation of front … more

PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT. BURNUP LIMITS FOR PATHFINDER TWO WEIGHT PER CENT NATURAL BORON-STAINLESS STEEL CONTROL RODS

Description: A survey of literature on irradiation experience with boron stainless steel was conducted to determine the effect of neutron irradiation and boron-10 burnup on the two weight per cent natural boron stainless steel control rods being used in the Pathfinder reactor. The literature reviewed included irradiation test samples and full-size control rods in operating reactors. From the analysis of the survey, it was concluded that the Pathfinder control rods will operate satisfactorily and retain thei… more
