Optimization of K Reactor power levels related to a zirconium tube replacement project

Description: The assumption of tube replacement losses can have a significant effect in the determination of optimum power levels and goal exposures. The tube replacement loss term in the reactor process optimization model is based on calculating the average projected tube replacement losses that will result from operation at given power and temperature conditions. Tube replacement losses associated with external corrosion, Van Stone flange failure, etc. (i.e., basically non-power level-temperature dependen… more

Metallurgy of Zircaloy-2. Part I. The Effects of Fabrication Variables on the Anisotropy of Mechanical Properties

Description: The anisotropy of mechanical propertles of Zircaloy-2 was studied as a function of fabricatlon variables. The variatlon in tensile and impact properties with specimen orientation was taken as the measure of the anisotropy of mechanical properties for each material. A qualitative separatlon of the effects of the fabrication variables on the resulting anisotropy of mechanical properties is made, but it is valid only in the rolling plane of the plate. A contractile strain ratio, a ratio of the nat… more

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE INSTRUMENTATION FOR DYNAMIC MEASUREMENTS IN THE KEWB PROGRAM. A Summary Report

Description: After an experimental survey of eight different models of pressure transducers, a system with fast response was developed to measure pressures in the KEWB reactor. The transducers used in the system operate in an environment which presents a high radiation level but which has temperatures that are quite low for a reactor. Thus they would not be suitable for use in a power reactor because of the temperature limitation. Since installation of this pressuremeasuring system in the KEWB reactor, the … more

SYNTHESIS AND FABRICATION OF REFRACTORY URANIUM COMPOUNDS. Quarterly Report No. 5, August 1 through October 31, 1960

Description: Additional quantities of UC, UN, and U/sub 3/Si/sup 2/ were prepared to be used in fabrication of test specimens for property determinations. A reduction in oxygen contamination of UN and U/sub 3/Si/sup 2/as achieved by improved techniques of synthesis.>s Preliminary values for thermal expansion, modulus of elasticity, and corrosion in boiling water were also obtained for these materials.
