12" SODIUM FLOW CONTROLLER. PERMANENT MAGNET COUPLING. MAGNETIC CALCULATION MANUFACTURE AND TEST RESULTS

Description: In order to retain the hermetic feature of the sodium flow controller, magnetic flux linkage of a permanent magnet coupling is used to transmit the torque produced by the operator through the pressure wall. Magnetic calculations, manufacture, and testing of this magnet coupling are described. (M.C.G.)

Radiochemistry for the rupture of a Zircaloy-2 clad thermocoupled fuel element in KER Loop-1 on May 12, 1961

Description: On the 1600--2400 shift, May 12, 1961, the delayed neutron monitor on KER Loop 1 gave a high coolant activity signal indicating a possible fuel element failure in this loop. KE Reactor was shut down immediately thereafter. This report is being written to summarize the events pertinent to the KE Reactor scram and to discuss the results and significance of data from the analyses of coolant samples taken from the KER Loop-1 System.
