High Power Density Development Project Seventh Quarterly Progress Report October - December 1961

Description: During the seventh quarter the twenty-four high power density fuel assemblies were irradiated in the VBWR to an average of about 2572 MWD/T. Also during this period the instrumental assembly tasks were completed, and the award of the contract for the Scheduling Computer was made. A summary of progress by task is presented here.

Power Cycling of High Power Density Fuel Specimens Clad With 10-Mil Wall Stainless Steel

Description: Three thin-wall stainless steel fuel specimens made using fabrication processes and materials similar to the Consumers Big Rock Plant research and development fuel rods were power cycled 3000 times between 500,000 and 75,000 BTU/hr-ft2 in the General Electric Test Reactor (GETR) Trail Cable facility. The fuel specimens were exposed to 1000 psi boiling water. All of the fuel specimens withstood the test without failing or without any significant changes in the clad characteristics.

Studies ot UO2-Cladding Mechanical Interactions (Short Time Irradiations in the GETR Trail Cable Facility)

Description: This report is a supplement to GEAP-3759, Plastic Strain In Thin Fuel Element Cladding Due to UO2 Thermal Expansion. Cladding growth results are reported for repetitively irradiated, UO2 pellet-filled, annular capsules: for two UO2 powder-filled, annular capsules: and for six solid cylindrical pellet-filled capsules. Dimensional changes of the capsules irradiated during the entire program were analyzed, and the relationship of these results to the over-all fuel development program were evaluate… more

FORE - A Computational Program For The Analysis Of Fast Reactor Excursions

Description: A digital computer program, FORE, which calculates transients for a fast reactor, has been coded for the TRANSAC 2000 computer. Its purpose is to provide understanding of the dynamics of fast reactors with particular emphasis on large ceramic-fueled fast reactors. The program calculates reactor power and temperatures of fuel, coolant, clad, and structure.
