Intermediate Heat Exchanger Preliminary Design. Vol. 1, IHX Preliminary Design

Description: Preface: The intermediate heat exchanger is designed for operation in a nuclear power plant using liquid sodium as the primary and secondary coolant. Since the primary fluid coming from the reactor is radioactive, the purpose of the IHX is to transfer heat to a nonradioactive fluid which then goes to a steam generator. Because of this activity the until will be enclosed in a concrete pit and will not be accessible during periods of operation. Immediately after shut down it will be necessary … more

Low-Energy [pi] Mesons in the Cosmic Radiation

Description: The intensity of 𝜋 mesons in the atmosphere is investigated in the energy region 𝐸kin≲50 Mev at sea level and at mountain altitudes. Positive 𝜋 mesons coming to rest in an absorber-scintillator are identified by the characteristic 𝜋−𝜇 decay. They are detected electronically and recorded photographically. The value 1.45±0.09 is adopted for the negative-to-positive ratio at small energies. The omnidirectional intensities 𝐽𝜋+ of slow positive 𝜋 mesons at sea level (91m), Echo Lake, Colorado (326… more

Rod Drop Transient Test. Test Results DL-S-247 (T-641323). Section II

Description: The purpose of the test was to obtain data on plant performance after a single control rod has been dropped with the plant at 40 mw gross generator output. The operation of the plant after a single control rod (No. 23) had been dropped with within the allowable limits. The information obtained from the high speed recorders could not be evaluated accurately due to the fast chart speed and also because they were calibrated to cover a much wider range than was necessary. The necessary data was obt… more

Determination of the Chemical Characteristics of the 1C Boiler. Test Results DL-S-209. Section III

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the chemical operating characteristics of the 1C Boiler. The results of the tests performed on the 1C Boiler prior to the installation of new riser indicated that definite chemical hideout existed during full load operation of the boiler. Measurement of local concentrations further indicated that a stabilized steam picket existed in the upper region of the heat exchanger adjacent to the inlet tube sheet during high steaming rates. Since these test were p… more
