HEATING AND COOLING TESTS ON THE ORR HN-1 IN-PILE LOOP MOCKUP

Description: OTS. Heating and cooling tests were made on the ORR HN-1 in-pile loop mockup 0-l-20 to test the operation of the loop when subjected to reactor scrams or setbacks. The loop was fitted with additional heaters to simulate reactor heat. Reactor transients were simulated by manually changing the power at a predetermined rate. It was found that thc loop control system was adequate and that loop temperatures could be maintained within a total change of 5 deg C. (auth)

Monthly Progress Report for the Period August 1 to 31, 1958

Description: plants ln England and France. With the increasing de output of given designs and probably allow operation at higher polymer contents than orignally foreseen, thereby reducing the make-up requirements. The physical characteristics of the OMRE such as critical loading, temperature coefficient, and general stability appeared to be close to the predicted values. Radiation levels in the primary circuit area during full power operation appear to be so low that maintenance is possible during operation… more
