Radiochemistry for the rupture of a Zircaloy-2 clad thermocoupled fuel element in KER Loop-1 on May 12, 1961 (open access)

Radiochemistry for the rupture of a Zircaloy-2 clad thermocoupled fuel element in KER Loop-1 on May 12, 1961

On the 1600--2400 shift, May 12, 1961, the delayed neutron monitor on KER Loop 1 gave a high coolant activity signal indicating a possible fuel element failure in this loop. KE Reactor was shut down immediately thereafter. This report is being written to summarize the events pertinent to the KE Reactor scram and to discuss the results and significance of data from the analyses of coolant samples taken from the KER Loop-1 System.

K reactor mixer study aluminum spline tubes (open access)

K reactor mixer study aluminum spline tubes

Reference 1 gave mixer recommendations for aluminum spline tubes at the K reactors. On completion of the study, R. F. Corlett requested a more detailed economic study of mixer useage at KW reactor. R. G. Clough also requested additional information on use of mixer elements in fringe tubes. In order to answer these requests, additional information was needed and requested. A. W. Medcalf replied giving enriched metal requirements in support of mixers. No other information vas received so it was not possible to make the economic study requested by R. F. Corlett. This report presents more detail on tube-life estimates associated with use of the eccentric and concentric-wall tube designs in central- and fringe-zones and the results of five downstream thermcouple probes that operated in concentric-wall tubes at KW reactor. Also, modification of the concentric-wall tube (milling down of the ribs) is discussed.

12" SODIUM FLOW CONTROLLER. PERMANENT MAGNET COUPLING. MAGNETIC CALCULATION MANUFACTURE AND TEST RESULTS

In order to retain the hermetic feature of the sodium flow controller, magnetic flux linkage of a permanent magnet coupling is used to transmit the torque produced by the operator through the pressure wall. Magnetic calculations, manufacture, and testing of this magnet coupling are described. (M.C.G.)

A POTENTIOMETRIC STUDY OF ZIRCONIUM-NITRATE AND ZIRCONIUM-FLUORIDE SYSTEMS

The potentiometric behavior of zirconium in fluoride, nitrate, and fluoride-nitrate systems is correlated and discussed in terms of the zirconium species present. A potentiometric titration was used successfully for the determination of total nitrate and zirconium in aqueous or organic (tributyl phosphate) zirconium-nitrate systems. (auth)
