Army Gas-Cooled Reactor Systems Program Monthly Progress Report: April 1959

Description: Abstract: This monthly progress report covers the activities of the Army Gas-Cooled Reactor System Program for April 1959. The program includes a water-moderated heterogeneous reactor (Gas-Cooled Reactor Experiment I), a graphite-moderated homogeneous reactor (Gas-Cooled Reactor Experiment II), a mobile gas-cooled reactor (ML-1), and the coordination of the Gas Turbine Test Facility. [It reports] the progress of each project, the associated tests and data evaluation, the applicable design crit… more

Reactor Automatic Control and Load Swing Test. Test Results DL-S-144 (T-554924). Section I. Second Performance

Description: The purpose of this test was to determine the controlling ability of the Reactor Power and Temperature Control System and to determine the operational characteristics of the station during load swings after change of operating conditions from 523 F, 2000 psi, to 500 F, 1800 psi. The Reactor Power and Temperature Control System satisfactorily controlled rod movements to maintain all primary plant parameters within their individual limits during steady state operation and during ramp function loa… more

Reactor Plant Container Air Cooling System. Section III. Second Performance. Test Results DL-S-136 (T-550090)

Description: The purpose of this test was to determine the performance of the Reactor Plant Container Air Cooling System with four reactor coolant loops at operating temperature. Due to the fact that the test was performed with the chamber door open, no significant conclusion can be arrived at concerning the efficiency of the Air Cool System. The 1B supply fan circulated approximately 20 per cent less air than the 1A fan during the test. Later investigation revealed that the turning vanes above the 1B dampe… more

Theory of Asymmetric Arrays of Control Rods in Nuclear Reactors

Description: Introduction: Seldom does the actual arrangement of control elements in a nuclear reactor confers to the ideal and convenient mathematical array. In order to achieve shim control. safety and regulation, it is desirable to design with rods of different sizes and materials. With given fuel element arrangement, typically in square or hexagonal lattice spacing, there will be rods located at different distances form the center of the core and from each other. As the reactor operates, absorbers wil… more
