ANPP Code Development Program: An Experimental Program on Water-Moderated Arrays of Uranium and Stainless Steel

Description: From summary: This report describes an experimental study performed on critical arrays of water-moderated, flat plate, laminated fuel bundles. The experiments were performed in support of analytical studies undertaken in the ANPP Code Development Program. The fuel bundles were built up using fully enriched uranium metal foils, stainless steel plates and boron stainless steel plates.

Final Safety Analysis: Ten-Watt Strontium-90 Fueled Generator for an Unattended Meteorological Station, SNAP-7C

Description: From introduction: The primary objectives in designing a nuclear safe radiostrontium generator are: continuous absolute containment of the radiostrontium fuel, which is a relatively insoluble and chemically stable fuel compound, and biological shielding of the direct radiation from the heat source. This report evaluates the safety aspects of a prototype Strontium-90 fueled generator which will be utilized by the U.S. Navy to power and unattended automatic meterological station.
