DEMONSTRATION DISPOSAL OF HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE SOLIDS IN LYONS, KANSAS, SALT MINE: BACKGROUND AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTAL ASPECTS

Description: A demonstration of the disposal of high-level radioactive waste solids to be carried out in a salt mine at Lyons, Kansas, will have as its objectives: (1) the demonstration of required waste-handling equipment and techniques, (2) the determination of the stability of salt under the influence of heat and radiation, and (3) the collection of information on creep and plastic flow of salt which is needed for the design of an actual disposal facility. As presently conceived, 14 irradiated fuel assem… more

PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT. RECIRCULATION PIPING DESIGN

Description: The coolant recirculation system in the Pathfinder reactor comprises three mixed-flow centrifugal pumps and three piping loops. The design criteria are summarized; and flexibility and stress analyses on the piping are presented, together with a vibration analysis of one pump and loop. The results indicate that vibration should be no problem, that all stresses are within the allowable limits, and that there should be no resonance difficulties during pump operation. (D.C.W.)
