STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF ZIRCALOY FUEL-ELEMENT CONTAINERS FOR THE NS SAVANNAH REACTOR

Structural evaluations were made of the 15% cold-worked Zircaloy fuel- element containers proposed for the NS Savannah reactor. These evaluations, which are consistent with the Navy Code, permitted the sizing of components so that under conservative loading conditions both stress and deflection limitations would be met. The necessary design modifications were specified for the fuel- element container assembly. (auth)
