Modified Purification System Performance Test. Core 1, Seed 2. Test Results T-641124-A. Section 2

Description: The effectiveness of purification in controlling plant radioactivation rates was determined through comparison of the actual effects produced from plant operation with and without purification. With the purification system in service, there was no appreciable difficulty in maintaining the reactor coolant within reference water specifications. In addition, there was no discernible increase of crud deposition in the coolant system as determined by direct radiation measurements of the purification… more

EQUIPOISE-3: A TWO DIMENSIONAL, TWO-GROUP, NEUTRON DIFFUSION CODE FOR THE IBM-7090 COMPUTER

Description: EQUIPOISE-3 is an IBM-7090 FORTRAN programmed code for the solution of two-group, two-dimensional, neutron diffusion equations. A maximum of 2l00 mesh points may be used, and the code will solve problems in either rectangular or cylindrical geometry. Logarithmic derivative boundary conditions are allowed, and removal of neutrons from both groups is permitted. Adjoint fluxes with the associated fluxadjoint flux regional integrals may be calculated automatically if desired. A constant buckling, g… more

DEVELOPMENT OF RING-JOINT FLANGES FOR USE IN THE HRE-2

Description: Ring-joint flanges were studied in thermal-cycle tests as part of the development work associated with Homogeneous Reactor Experiment No. 2 (HRE-2). The purpose of this study was to provide criteria for design, installation, and operation of joints that would remain leaktight under reactor operating temperatures and pressures. Joints ranging from 1/2 in., l500 lb to 4 in., 2500 lb and with various initial bolt loadings were cycled between room temperature and 636 deg F. It was demonstrated that… more

Chemical Technology Division, Chemical Development Section C Progress Report for October-December 1961

Description: Recovery of Th (and U) from Granitic Rock. Recovery of Th by acid leaching ten addltlonal granite samples (36 to 82 ppm Th) from the Conway formation in N. H. ranged from about 50 to 85%, and averaged about 70%, Study of the effect of grind size on the recovery of Th from Conway and Plkes Peak granites showed no significant differences in the range minus 20 to minus 200 mesh. The Th concentration in a sized Conway granite sample was found to be much greater in the fine than in the coarse fracti… more

Effects of the Maximum Credible Accident Relevant to the Design of the Containment Shell, Experimental Low-Temperature Process Heat Reactor Project

Description: The effects of the maximum credible accident relative to the design of the containment shell are discussed. The maximum credible accident is defined. The thermal and hydraulic effects of the maximum credible accident on the reactor system were analyzed. The extent to which fuelrod cladding will melt was estimated. The amount of energy released from the reactor system by the escaping steam and water and by a possible chemical reaction was calculated along with the corresponding pressure rise ins… more

ANGULAR DISTRIBUTION OF FRAGMENTS FROM FISSION INDUCED BY HEAVYIONS IN GOLD AND BISMUTH

Description: We present the results of measurements of the angular distribution of fission fragments produced by irradiation of Au{sup 197} and Bi{sup 209} with various heavy ions. The projectiles, B{sup 11}, C{sup 12}, N{sup 14}, and O{sup 16}, had energies from a few MeV above the Coulomb barrier to 10.4 MeV per nucleon. The gross features of these results can be explained by use of a model and parameters that have been used by others to account for angular distributions of fission fragments from helium-i… more

Fission gas inventories and estimated releases from PRTR HPD fuel

Description: The PRTR is entering a phase of operation in which there is an increased danger of high level fission product release from failed fuel. The higher fuel operating temperatures result in a much larger percentage fission gas release from the fuel crystal; also it is believed that the central voids and inter-crystal cracks greatly improve the transport of fission gases from the far end of a fuel rod to a defect location. 6 tabs.

Galvanic corrosion test measurements zircaloy process tube hydriding problem

Description: In September of 1965, a program was launched to investigate the cause and to determine appropriate corrective or preventive action for hydriding of Zircaloy process tubes in K Reactors. One phase of the investigation was specifically directed to the measurement of galvanic corrosion currents flowing between the Zircaloy process tube and the aluminum spacers. Production Test IP-807 authorized in-reactor galvanic test measurements in order to secure data relating to the hydriding problem. It is t… more

Examination of enriched ruptured element from 2955C (RM 452)

Description: A CIIIE (enriched) element, one of two elements which failed April 5, 1962 in tube 2955C, was shipped to the Radiometallurgy Laboratory for detailed examination. The element was 21st from the downsteam end. A more severe rupture which occurred in the 19th piece from the downsteam end was believed to have caused the initial rupture indication. After a hot startup a heat cycle developed in the part of the reactor containing tube 2955 increasing the bulk water temperature about 20 per cent. At abo… more
