SRE Fuel Element Damage: An Interim Report

Description: Abstract: During the course of power run 14 on the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) at low power, the temperature difference among various fuel channels was found to be undesirably high. Normal operating practices did not succeed in reducing this temperature difference to acceptable values and on July 26, 1959, the run was terminated.

MODEL STUDIES OF FLOW AND MIXING IN THE PARTIALLY ENRICHED GAS-COOLED POWER REACTOR

Description: A quarter-scale flow model, using air as a working fluid, was used to obtain design data for the PEGCPR program. A design for the core-support cylinder, to provide optimum mixing and core-flow distribution, was developed, following which experimentul studies of core-flow distribution, mixing of flow from the two inlets, flow patterns in plenum spaces, flow patterns in the thermal- shield-coolant passage, and pressure drops throughout the model were carried out. Results obtained in the model wer… more

Variable Moderator Reactor Development Program. Quarterly Progress Report No. 2

Description: The hydrodynamics code BOCH was used to obtain the relationship between a large number of variables such as voids, flux, pin spacing, power density, and pressure for VMR lattices. Based upon these relationships, a reference core design was selected for examination, using the integrated physics and hydrodynamics analytical modeis. The analog representations of the VMR core kinetics describing the individual blocks of a model block diagram were completed. A simplified core physics analysis was co… more

FUEL ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PEBBLE BED REACTOR. PHASE I. Progress Report for May 1, 1959 to October 31, 1959

Description: Numerous types of high temperature ceramic fuel elements for the Pebble Bed Reactor are being evaluated. Specimens are 1 1/2 in. diameter uranium graphite spheres with external coatings such as silicon carbide or pyrolytically deposited high density graphite and fuel particle coatings such as alumina. Low fission product leakage rates at high temperatures have been observed for some of these coatings. High-level irradiation has given no visible evidence of radiation damage to either the silicon… more

The Thermal Expansion of Synthetic Graphites at Temperature Intervals Between 80 and 2000f

Description: The mean linear and cubical coefficients of thermal expansion of eight commercial samples of graphite were determined for temperature intervals between 80 and 2000 deg F. The linear thermal expansion was measured with an automatic recording dilatometer using a rod-shaped specimen 2 in. long and 1/4 in. across. The specimen was heated in an atmosphere of helium. The results were in good agreement with those of Currie, Hamister, and MacPherson. The mean linear coefficient was found to increase wi… more

SM-2 Critical Experiments : CE-1

Description: Abstract: Critical experiment studies were performed, varying the parameters U235, B10 and metal to water ratio, in the SM-2 7 x 7 core configuration with 38 stationary elements and seven control rods of the SM-1 (APPR-1) type. An experimental mock-up of the SM-1 was assembled using the basic SM-2 fuel plates. Excellent agreement between the SM-1 boron loading, determined by chemical analysis, and the SM-1 mock-up boron loading, for equivalent bank positions, was noted. Several SM-2 mock-ups, … more

Equations of State for Stream-Water Mixtures and Some Representative Applications Analysis

Description: The majority of two-phase flow problems involving equations of state are solved by use of point-wise utilization steam table values. In this manner, problems involving the use of the various flow equations of continuity, momentum and energy are generally forced into iterative solutions. Considerable effort towards the development of an analytical expression for the state equation seems indicated so as to simplify the analysis of two-phase problems, particularly apparent in the analysis of syste… more

Leveling of Extraction Tool Crane Rails. Section I. Second Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-246, FY-59-323

Description: The purpose of the test was to check the extraction crane rails in the area of the reactor pit for level and parallelism. The west extraction crane rail exceeded the allowed tolerance of 1/32 inch at only one location. The elevation of the north bumper was out of tolerance by 1/64 inch. The east extraction crane rail was consistently lower than the west rail by as much as 8/64 inch. The east rail was parallel with the west rail within allowable tolerances over the length tested except at one lo… more

Periodic Radiation Survey. Section III. First Performance. Core I, Seed 1. Test Results DL-S-231, T-612394

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the radiation levels inside the concrete enclosures but outside the reactor plant containers after shutdown following plant power operation. Radiation levels at the survey points in the 1-AC and 10BD Boiler Chambers Enclosures and in the Reactor Container Enclosure indicated that no significant radiation hazards were present approximately 25 minutes after all rods had been inserted. The radiation levels approximately 4 minutes after shutdown at the surve… more

Time Variation of Thermodynamic Parameters of a Gas in the Region of a Shock Front : Progress Report III

Description: The original goal of this investigation was to compare the thermodynamic characteristics of the gases in and behind the shock fronts in gases at initial pressures in the millimeter range and to compare these characteristics in the geometries of single and double discharges. The shock fronts were not visible, so it was not possible, at these pressures, to get visual data from the shock front itself. The parameters giving the properties of the gases were faces. Measurements made with an image con… more
