Development Test IP-556-D, supplement A, irradiation service request HAPO-278 outgassing rate of tritium at high temperature

Description: The nuclear heat generation rate in the first capsule irradiated was higher by a factor of two than was calculated. The original capsule was irradiated in a dry bore with cooling water in the annulus only. The new capsule will be irradiated in a water-cooled bore facility with additional cooling coils around the lithium containing tube. This will keep the inner capsule temperature below 150 C during the initial tritium buildup period prior to outgassing. This Supplement authorizes the irradiati… more

Testing of Zircaloy-2-Clad Uranium Seven-Rod Fuel Elements. Final Report

Description: In 1955 the Fuels Development Operation began irradiation testing of fuel elements in high temperature water. It was assumed that if a new reactor were built at Hanford, it would be cooled by high-temperature, pressurized water. Corrosion tests showed that aluminum-clad production fuel elements could not be used in high-temperature water. Therefore, while work to improve the resistance of aluminum to high-temperature water proceeded, the Fuel Design Operation began irradiation of stainless stee… more
