Aerospace nuclear safety report for August 1967

Description: The AEC Safety Branch advised that the present outlook for a potential mission using four modified SNAP-3 type generators is rather negative. Drop tests of four SNAP-19 intact reentry heat source capsules were conducted at the Tonopah Test Range. A preliminary GE SNAP-27 safety analysis was reviewed. Three arc tunnel tests were conducted at low heat fluxes. Debris were collected on downrange impactors from all tests. The rapid helium depressurization test on fuel microspheres was conducted by B… more

Galvanic corrosion test measurements zircaloy process tube hydriding problem

Description: In September of 1965, a program was launched to investigate the cause and to determine appropriate corrective or preventive action for hydriding of Zircaloy process tubes in K Reactors. One phase of the investigation was specifically directed to the measurement of galvanic corrosion currents flowing between the Zircaloy process tube and the aluminum spacers. Production Test IP-807 authorized in-reactor galvanic test measurements in order to secure data relating to the hydriding problem. It is t… more
