Influence of the Doppler Effect on the Meltdown Accident

The influence of the Doppler effect in the core disassembly process following a meltdown accident is examined with a Bethe-Tait type model in which the Doppler effect, as well as core disassembly, is considered in the reactor shutdown process. It is shown that a strong negative Doppler effect can radically reduce the explosive energy release in such an accident. (auth)

NPR; Tube to Nozzle Connection and Zircaloy-2 to Stainless Steel Tube Connection

Zircaloy-2 tubing was successfully joined to austenetic and ferritic stainless steel tubing by fusion bonding. Tungsten inert gas welding was employed to join a flange to a pressure tube. This work was performed to help determine the design of pressure tubes of a pressure tube reactor.
