Single tube meltdown incident

Description: In connection with design of rear face fittings for the plant-expansion study currently being conducted we have been asked to determine if rear face pressurization is required for safety reasons and if so, how much. Pressurization of the rear face piping would be used to provide sufficient reverse flow to prevent process tube burnout in the event of complete loss of coolant supply to a single tube by virtus of a front connector failure. Consideration of the effectiveness of rear face pressuriza… more

Ignitron Resistance During High-Current Operation

Description: Abstract: "A definition of average conduction resistance for an ignitron is established, and a test bank for determining the value of this resistance is described. Data are reported on four typical ignitron types for several currents in the kiloampere range. Oscillograms are presented to illustrate the change of current with time for a conducting ignitron in a ringing circuit."

VARIABLE MODERATOR REACTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. Quarterly Progress Report NO. 3

Description: The hydrodyraruios code BOCH and the physics code PUREE' were used in the anaiysis of specific VMR cores. Eight core designs of different geometries were selected for initial evaluation. Extensive analysis of the first of these cores was completed. aid more general analysis of the other cores is in progress. The analog representation of the VMR kinetics was completed and applied to the aaalysis of the VMR over a large range of parameters for curves of positive void versus reactivity. Funiner ch… more

Examination of a Nonregenerative Heat Exchanger From the u.s.s. Nautilus (Ssn-571)

Description: Selected components from a staianless steel nonregenerative heat exchanger removed from the U.S.S. Nautilus (SSN571) have been examined for evidence of stress-corrosion cracking. The examination was conducted on three baffle plates, all primary-face seal welds, and the tubes and the surrounding tube sheets of 7 out of a total of 35 tubes. Maximum operating temperature of the heat exchanger was 260 ction prod- F for the inlet primary water and 164 ction prod- F for the exit secondary water. Chlo… more

Numerical Solution of Fuel-Element Thermal-Stress Problems

Description: In developing a method of numerical analysis for the solution of thermal- stress problems special emphasis was given to fuel elements with internal coolant channels. Numerical techniques ior reducing the partial differential equation system te a form suitable for numerical solution and a new iteratlve method of solving large systems of linear algebraic equations were employed. Computer codes were devised to obtain the numerical solution of the thermal-stress problems and were used to obtain num… more
