Instrumentation Flow Plan Symbols and Recommended Drawings : a Standard System for ORNL Instrumentation Applications Work

Description: This report is presented in order to provide a satisfactory system of symbols and identifications for process-instrumentation equipment and to promote a uniformity of practice that will simplify and expedite instrumentation work. It is intended that the systems presented here should be capable of designating and identifying the multitude of instrumentation items which are used for control and operation of conventional processes, as well as for specialized work peculiar to ORNL. Instrument Socie… more

Two Group Calculations for Flux Distribution and Critical Mass in Clean Cold ORR Cores

Description: A series of two-group calculations has been made on the Oracle for the purpose of obtaining critical-mass and flux distribution data for various ORR core configurations. The 3G3R code of Bate, Einstein, and Kinney was used, together with the RSP code developed by Nelson. This made it possible to obtain results for the three-dimensional case. The results, which are presented graphically, are intended to serve as a guide for the design of experiments until such time as actual measurements are ava… more

Experiments on the Release of Fission Products from Molten Reactor Fuels

Description: Experiments in the controlled melting of irradiated fuel specimens, particularly of the APPR, STR, and MTR types, have confirmed that prolonged heating in air at temperatures in excess of the melting point results in the release of a large portion of the radioactivity. On the other hand, a moderate amount of heating in air or steam sufficient only to melt a specimen results mainly in the partial volatilization of rare gases, iodine, bromine, cesium, and rubidium. In the presence of air or water… more
