EGCR EXPERIMENTAL LOOPS, PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT

Description: The EGCR was designed to accommodate up to four gascooled experimental loops plus several experimental fuel elements in the open core. Two of the loops will utilize 51/2-in.-O.D. stainless steel tubes passing through the core along an axis which is about 17 in. from the central axis of the core. The other two loops will utilize 91/2-in.-o.d. tubes about 68 in. from the central axis. Inherent safety in the design, facility design, primary loop design, auxiliary systems and equipment design, prim… more

Thermal Stress Testing of Type 1 Fuel Plates

Description: Thermal stress tests on Type 1, SM-1A Core II fuel ele-ment sections were performed to study plate distortion and determine its dependency on temperature distribution, temperature differential, initial flatness, and ripple length. Test results will be correlated with the analytical model and used to predict ripple growth in other plate-type fuel elements. The tests showed that ripple growth is dependent on initial flatness of the plate and that the characteristic shape of ripples is maintained … more

AN ESTIMATE OF THE EFFECT OF NEUTRON-ENERGY SPECTRUM ON RADIATION DAMAGE OF STEEL

Description: The postulate that the average number of lattice displacements is directly proportional to the available energy is carried one step further; it is assumed that damage to steel (particularly in regard to brittle fracture) is proportional to the number of lattice vacancies that occur. The model, although crude, permits estimation of the relative damage resulting from differences in neutron spectra. The results can be used as a rough method of correcting damage data for the effect of the neutron-e… more

EFFECTIVE CUTOFF ENERGIES FOR B, Cd, Gd, AND Sm FILTERS

Description: Effective energy cutoffs have been calculated on an IBM7090 computer for Cd, Gd, Sm, and B filters as functions of filter geometry, the ratio of Maxwellian to epithermal flux (assumed to be 1/E), the lower energy limit of the 1/E flux, the energy corresponding to the Maxwellian most probable (modal) velocity and filter thickness. The geometrical configurations were spherical (which on the assumptions madc is equivalent to a beam flux case), cylindrical and slab. By the use of two or three diffe… more

Specifications and Fabrication Procedures for Type 3 Fuel Elements

Description: Process and product requirements to be met in the fabrication of Type 3 fuel elements are presented. The fuel elements specified consist of thin plates of a dispersion of highly enriched UO/sub 2/ and ZrB/sub 2/ in a stainless steel matrix which is clad with stainless steel on all surfaces. Quality assurance provisions are discussed. Process and material specifications and packaging and packing for shipment are described. Sample calculations and drawings are included. (M.C.G.)

Temperature Coefficients of the Reactivity Measurement Facility

Description: The temperature coefficient of the Reactivity Measurement Facility was found to be 49 plus or minus 1 mu k/ deg C (1 mu k = 10/sup -6/ DELTA k/k) in the range 15.4 to l7.8 deg C. The change in the net reactivity of a standard sample was --0.48 plus or minus 0.02, --0.66 plus or minus 0.03, and --0.78 plus or minus 0.02 mu k/ deg C in three measuring positions. These low values generally make temperature corrections insignificant. The above results are compared with previous determined values. T… more

The Angular Distribution of Fission Fragments From the Fast Neutron-Induced Fission of U-234

Description: Submitted to Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville. The fast neutron-induced fission cross section of U/sup 234/ was measured from threshold to 4-Mev neutron energy. A maximum of 1.26 barns was found at 850 kev followed by a minimum of 1.10 barns at 8050 kev. The angular ani-sotropy of the fragment distribution was measured for neutron energies from 400 kev to 4 Mev. Extrema in the ratio sigma /sub f//( sigma /sub f(90 deg ) were found at 500, 850, and 1050 kev; the distribution at 500 kev showing a ma… more

Effect of a reactor fuel element failure on the Columbia River radionuclide concentrations at Pasco, Washington

Description: The failure of a fuel element cladding in one of the water-cooled plutonium production reactors permits the erosion of irradiated uranium metal by the cooling water which is normally disposed to the Columbia River. Monitoring systems at both the reactors and at their effluent basin outlets to the river continuously monitor these streams, and if major fission-products release occurs the coolant can be held in retention basins. In addition to these monitoring systems, a river monitor is located a… more
