Production test IP-734, HAPO 309: High core temperature capsules in the KW Snout facility, Series 2

Description: The objective of the production test detailed in this report is to continue a program started under Production Test IP-690; the major change is an increase in sample enrichment. The higher enrichment is required to increase the portion of the fuel element core which is molten. This test will provide data to correlate maximum fuel temperature with post-irradiation microstructure, and data that are required to study the kinetics of fuel redistribution during the time interval between insertion of… more

Thermal shield cooling tube surveillance: B, C, D, and K Reactors

Description: The top thermal shields of the Hanford reactors were formed by placing single layers of large cast iron blocks on the top of the graphite stacks. Accumulative distortion of the graphite stack is causing several inches of variation in the elevation of the originally level top thermal shields. The integrity of the top thermal shield cooling tubes is of concern because of the high axial and bending stresses they are subjected to from the shield variations in addition to the normal service conditio… more

Status of development work on the hot die size fuel element growth problem

Description: Because of the unexpected growth behavior of hot die size fuel elements during irradiation, it was necessary to re-evaluate the plans for hot die size irradiation testing and redirect the development effort. Tests were initiated to determine the cause of the growth, and plans were made to incorporate findings into subsequent irradiation tests. This report summarizes work done to determine the cause of the unexpected growth and the status of irradiation tests designed to measure improvements in … more

105-F intermediate range test hole parameters

Description: This report discusses 105 intermediate range test hole which was bored in 105-F to demonstrate reactor hole boring techniques. This test hole was then utilized to determine the performance of neutron sensitive gamma compensated ion chambers (CIC), the effectiveness of epoxy reactor shield plug designs, the compatability of the prototype.components intermediate range instrumentation, and demonstrate the performance of an intermediate range monitor system on a typical Hanford reactor application.… more

Analysis of test data on ablation of SNAP 2/10A fuel, aluminum, and stainless steel in an arc-heated wind tunnel

Description: A series of arc-jet tests were performed for the purpose of investigating the behavior of SNAP 2/10A fuel in a simulated reentry environment. The data from the tests (motion pictures and transient temperature distributions) were analyzed and compared with computations which used an energy balance to describe the heating of the fuel to its melting temperature. The dissociation of hydrogen was assumed to occur as an isothermal, endothermic phase change. This concept neglects the kinetics of diffu… more
