[MRBT Bundle B-6 Transient Test and Posttest Deformation Data]

Computer-generated graphical and tabular presentations of transient test and posttest deformation data for Multirod Burst Test (MRBT) Bundle B-6 (see pages 131-141 of report). "The primary objective of this 8 x 8 multirod burst test was to investigate cladding de-formation in the alpha-plus-beta-Zircaloy temperature range under simulated light-water-reactor (LWR) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) conditions. B-6 test conditions simulated the adiabatic heatup (reheat) phase of an LOCA and produced very uniform temperature distributions." - from Abstract

From abstract: The concept of using high intensity beta radiation from an isotopic source, Sr-90, inside a high temperature, high pressure chemical reactor has been developed for potential radiation chemical processes. Distinct advantages include high utilizable intensity from a relatively small source with a minimum of shielding against external radiation.

Comparison of the Thermal Conductivity, Electrical Resistivity, and Seebeck Coefficient of a Hight-Purity Iron and Armco Iron to 1000 [degrees] C (open access)

Comparison of the Thermal Conductivity, Electrical Resistivity, and Seebeck Coefficient of a Hight-Purity Iron and Armco Iron to 1000 [degrees] C

The thermophysical properties of Armco iron such as thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and Seebeck coefficient have been extensively investigated and reviewed up to 1000 degrees C. Few investigations of such properties have been made on high purity iron. If such a study is made using the same apparatus to determine the properties of two purity levels of iron, then several significant intercomparisons can be made which add meaning to data on a single material. The systemic errors for a single apparatus are the same, therefore comparison of a property of two similar materials is more significant. A comparison of the property changes with temperature and purity can show the effects of impurities on the mechanisms contributing to a property and allows prediction of the properties of iron as a function of purity. For these reasons a study was initiated on the high-purity iron for comparison to Armco iron.

A Thermal Comparator Apparatus for Thermal Conductivity Measurements from 50 to 400 [degrees] C (open access)

A Thermal Comparator Apparatus for Thermal Conductivity Measurements from 50 to 400 [degrees] C

The experimental details, mathematical models, and typical data for a rapid comparative method for thermal conductivity measurements are presented. The method consists of measuring the temperature change of a small silver sphere after it is brought in contact with a small disk-shaped specimen which was initially at ta higher temperature. This temperature change was calibrated in the range of 50 to 400 degrees C by making measurements on samples of know thermal conductivity. The accuracy of this technique was shown to be between than +-10% with a reproducibility of at least +-2.5%. Using known transport mechanisms for heat conduction in solids and the temperature dependency of the electrical conductivity, a means to judiciously extrapolate thermal conductivity data obtained between 50 and 400 degree C to high temperature is presented.

Thermal Properties of Grade CGB Graphite (open access)

Thermal Properties of Grade CGB Graphite

Grade CGB graphite is a nuclear graphite which is basically an extruded petroleum coke bonded with coal tar pitch. No carbon blacks are used and the low-permeation graphite is finished through a series of impregnations and heat treatments with a final heat treatment of all components to 2800 degrees C. A listing of the results obtained is given in Table 1. The results at 51 degrees C are considered questionable. There was a slight contamination of the 90% Pt 10% Rh-Pt thermocouples at 910 degrees C but it was not sufficient to doubt the validity of the 910 degrees C results. However, the results obtained at 1015 degrees C should be disregarded because of severe thermocouple instabilities. In addition, the electrical resistance of the core heater at 603 degrees C indicated the thermocouples had a -10 to -15 degree error which is sufficient justification to disregard the 605 degrees C data.

Advanced Designs and Special Applications for Fast Breeders (open access)

Advanced Designs and Special Applications for Fast Breeders

The purpose of this paper is to describe a few of the suggested advanced concepts for fast breeder reactors and to compare these with the standard approach as to their potential advantage. I have attempted to estimate the economic effect of full technical success with each of the proposed concepts. The proposed concepts include: (1) single sodium system, (2) steam-cooled core concept, (3) direct cycle reactor using potassium as reactor coolant and working fluid, (4) molten plutonium-fuel alloy circulated and cooled by a jet of sodium, (5) settled-bed core, (6) molten salt concept, and (7) paste-fuel system.

Reactor Safety and Fuel Cycle Economics Considerations for Fast Reactors (open access)

Reactor Safety and Fuel Cycle Economics Considerations for Fast Reactors

Abstract: A core design study of a 10 Mwe fast ceramic reactor is presented. Local reactivity coefficients, safety criteria, accident analyses, and economics are considered. An attempt is made to find a new balance of characteristics by purely geometric devices, i.e., by exploring the sodium : fuel ratio and varying the height : diameter ratio of the core. The use of BeO in the core was also investigated.

Water Spectra and Energy Exchange Kernels (open access)

Water Spectra and Energy Exchange Kernels

Many measurement of neutron spectra have been made in water assemblies. In these system a large part of the spectrum is given by an essentially Maxwellian distribution at the moderator temperature which is insensitive to the scattering model. Hence, the test of the energy exchange scattering kernel is in the difference of the spectrum and the fundamental or Maxwellian component. The figure shows the spectrum for the Nelkin model. Once the fundamental has been subtracted neither theoretical model seems to fit the data extremely well. Below kT the Nelkin model is a closer fit than the gas model but it underestimates the deviation from the Maxwellian whereas in the joining region it overestimates the distortion.

Relationships Between States of Nuclei With Constant Neutron Excess

From introduction: "In order to locate systematic trends of states with a certain angular momentum and parity Jπ in nuclei having constant neutron excess, both the ground state and the level energies will be considered simultaneously: we plot the total nuclear binding energy or nuclidic mass excess of excited states, whereby the ground states appear as a special case. Such a natural correlation of level schemes has been employed before Inglis already in 1953."
