Evaluation of Hazards to Population From a Reactor Accident

Description: Consequent to an "accident" during the working of a nuclear reactor there is a possibility that radioactive fission products will get airborne. The airborne activity in the form of cloud will travel with the winds and the size of the cloud will increase as it travels downwind. There are several radiation hazards due to such a cloud and the extent of their hazard depends upon several conditions.

Studies ot UO2-Cladding Mechanical Interactions (Short Time Irradiations in the GETR Trail Cable Facility)

Description: This report is a supplement to GEAP-3759, Plastic Strain In Thin Fuel Element Cladding Due to UO2 Thermal Expansion. Cladding growth results are reported for repetitively irradiated, UO2 pellet-filled, annular capsules: for two UO2 powder-filled, annular capsules: and for six solid cylindrical pellet-filled capsules. Dimensional changes of the capsules irradiated during the entire program were analyzed, and the relationship of these results to the over-all fuel development program were evaluate… more

Power Cycling of High Power Density Fuel Specimens Clad With 10-Mil Wall Stainless Steel

Description: Three thin-wall stainless steel fuel specimens made using fabrication processes and materials similar to the Consumers Big Rock Plant research and development fuel rods were power cycled 3000 times between 500,000 and 75,000 BTU/hr-ft2 in the General Electric Test Reactor (GETR) Trail Cable facility. The fuel specimens were exposed to 1000 psi boiling water. All of the fuel specimens withstood the test without failing or without any significant changes in the clad characteristics.

Economic Evaluation of Control Rod Materials and Fabrication Processes

Description: Control rod materials, designs, and fabrication processes are compared for their relative economies. Control rod lifetime data are calculated with a simple approximation of nuclear worth depreciation. These data are used in conjunction with the estimated fabrication costs to determine the cost of using several absorber materials in a typical power reactor on a cost-per-year basis. The effect the control system has on core power density and fuel lifetime is included.
