Status report of irradiated NPR fuel element rupture studies in the IRP

Description: The Irradiated Rupture Prototype (IRP) has been used for rupture testing irradiated NPR prototype fuel elements. Most of the tests have been made to determine the rupture effect of different reactor exposures, fuel element geometries and water cooldown rates following the start of the rupture. This report summarizes the results obtained to date, mentions where information is lacking and gives further tests scheduled for the IRP.

Thermo-physics technical note No. 43: SNAP fuel particle dispersion

Description: An evaluation of particle dispersion from natural and artificial sources has been made relating this information to circulation processes in the mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. The data on natural particle and nuclear debris dispersion have been interpreted in terms of their significance in regard to SNAP fuel reentry dispersion and extended by various fall-out time and dispersion calculations.

Design and fabrication of target elements for PT-645-D

Description: Target elements were designed and built to fit into 1.25% U{sup 235} driver elements. These targets had an aluminum -- 0.583% lithium alloy core enriched to 63.5% in Li. The targets had a coextruded aluminum jacket as a tritium barrier and a Zircaloy jacket as a corrosion barrier to the 300 C reactor water.

Critical mass control: Continuous neptunium

Description: During April 1962, equipment in both the main Redox Building (202-S) and the Plutonium Concentration Building (233-S) vas rearranged to allow the accumulation and recovery of neptunium without interference with the production of uranium and plutonium. In order to do this, the former rework column (1S) was put into continuous service as a neptunium recovery column, the Third Plutonium Cycle was converted to a neptunium decontamination cycle, and ion-exchange equipment was installed in the 233-S … more

Conversion ratio consideration in the E-N fringe loading

Description: This document summarizes the requested study of theoretical factors influencing the expected conversion ratio of the fringe enrichment portion of an E-N loading. Exact calculation of the quantity is very complicated and will not be attempted here; however, it is possible, with simple geometric approximations, to derive relative conversion ratios. This present report summarizes the results of a study incorporating actual operating data from the present poisoned top and unpoisoned bottom fringe l… more

Production test IP-416 horizontal rod calibrations, H Reactor

Description: The purpose of this test is to obtain data concerning the reactivity effect of horizontal control rods in the E-N loading at H Reactor. The accurate calibration of the control rods will then provide more accurate measurement of the other reactivity variables associated with the E-N loading.

Use of control charts for analysis of plant rupture experience

Description: Goal exposure and power level planning and administration on either a short-term or long-term basis, is heavily dependent upon assessment of the level of metal performance. It is the purpose of this document to present a method of monitoring the metal performance level employing the concept of control charts, and to propose adoption of this method as the basis for detecting changes in the metal performance level of the three main types of production fuel elements, i.e., C-II-N, O-II-N, and K-II… more

Design criteria for coolant backup three remaining smaller reactors. Revision 1

Description: This document defines the objectives, bases, and functional requirements that shall govern the preparation of design of the coolant backup system for the three remaining smaller reactors. This project will increase the reliability of the coolant backup facility at B Area by providing an independent last-ditch coolant system to B and C Reactors. The reliability of the last-ditch system for D Reactor will also be improved in that the present F and H leg of the export system will no longer be a pa… more

Production test IP-477-A, irradiation of N Reactor fuel elements in KER Loops 3 and 4

Description: The objective of this production test is to evaluate the irradiation behavior of N Reactor fuel elements at conditions equivalent to or more severe than those expected in N Reactor. N Reactor fuel elements are authorized for irradiation in KER Loops 3 and 4 to exposures no greater than 3000 MWD/T. Tubular steel spacers, per steel spacers, solid steel dummies, and a flow channel temperature measuring thermocouple train are authorized for use in KER loops 3 and 4 to permit positioning the fuel el… more

Empirical plutonium constants 7090 program

Description: The current-revision of the Process Optimization Program contains two empirical plutonium-exposure expressions. One relates total Pu conversion to exposure and the other, Pu-240 buildup to exposure. The former was incorporated to save computer time and the latter to provide product quality data. Both of these relationships, in addition to a third which relates Pu-241 buildup to exposure, are used in PULP-3, the data generator for LP-90. EMCON-3, a 7090 computer program which determines arbitrar… more
