/sup 233/U breeding and neutron multiplying blankets for fusion reactors

Description: In this work, along with a previous paper three possible uses of 14-MeV deuterium--tritium fusion neutrons are investigated: energy production, neutron multiplication, and fissile-fuel breeding. The results presented include neutronic studies of fissioning and nonfissioning thorium systems, tritium breeding systems, various fuel options (UO/sub 2/, UC, UC/sub 2/, etc.), and uranium as well as refractory metal first-wall neutron-multiplying regions. A brief energy balance and an estimate of pote… more

Mechanical properties of graphite for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors: a review

Description: Experimental data on the mechanical properties of reactor graphites (excluding irradiation creep and fatigue) under High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) conditions are reviewed. Based on an assessment of the literature, recommendations are made for design-basis values for the elastic properties and strength of irradiated graphite, and failure criteria are suggested for particular loading conditions. 78 references.

Helium generation in copper by 14.8-MeV neutrons

Description: High purity copper foils were irradiated with 14.8-MeV neutrons from the rotating target neutron source facility at LLL. The average energy of the neutrons was 14.75 +- 0.1 MeV, and the average fluence was 7.0 x 10$sup 16$ n/ cm$sup 2$. After irradiation each foil was heated to the melting point and the released helium was measured by a mass spectrometer of special design. Isochronal heating was carried out on several samples to establish the type and temperature of maximum release. Calculated … more
