SOLUBLE NEUTRON POISONS AS A PRIMARY CRITICALITY CONTROL IN SHIELDED AND CONTAINED RADIOCHEMICAL FACILITIES (open access)

SOLUBLE NEUTRON POISONS AS A PRIMARY CRITICALITY CONTROL IN SHIELDED AND CONTAINED RADIOCHEMICAL FACILITIES

Studies indicated that the use of soluble poisons as a primary criticality control offers economic and other advantages in that it permits the factors of vessel size and shape and solution concentrations to be dictated by considerations other than those of criticality. It is believed that soluble poison criticality control can be made as reliable as other methods of coaditional control if the application is preceded by adequate development work and is monitored by multiple. independent safeguards. The studies included multigroup machine calculations of the required content of poisons in solutions of fissile and fertile material, a compilation of data on the detection, stability, decontamination, and costs of soluble poisons, and an assessment of the possible effects of a nuclear excursion.

NIGHTMARE-AN IBM 7090 CODE FOR THE CALCULATION OF GAMMA HEATING IN CYLINDRICAL GEOMETRY (open access)

NIGHTMARE-AN IBM 7090 CODE FOR THE CALCULATION OF GAMMA HEATING IN CYLINDRICAL GEOMETRY

The NIGHTMARE program calculates the gamma-dose rate at any point in or near a reactor by means of the NDA buildup-factor method. The source distributton is obtained from a two-group, two-dimensional diffusion code (EQUIPOISE-2). Seven gamma-energy groups are used. As many as nine different concentric cylindrical regions may be considered, but only radial variation of attenuation and buildup properties is permdtted. Two schemes of estimating buildup factors through a succession of materials are built into the code, and results may be obtained by using either or both methods. An IBM 7090 computer wtth seven tape untts is required. Computations are performed at the approximate rate of l0,000/n mesh points per minute, where n is the number of axial, radial, and angular increments. The program is run under the control of the IBM 7090 MONITOR system. (auth)

Stress Corrosion of Type 304 Stainless Steel in Simulated Superheat Reactor Environments. [Part] 1. Informal Aec Research and Develoment Report 568-Tio-2 (open access)

Stress Corrosion of Type 304 Stainless Steel in Simulated Superheat Reactor Environments. [Part] 1. Informal Aec Research and Develoment Report 568-Tio-2

A fuel jacket failure that occurred in May 1961 in the Type 304 stainless steel clad fuel element exposed in the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor superheated steam loop (SADE) was attributed to chloride stress corrosion cracking. In order to better understand the failure, a test program was carried out to try to reproduce the rapid stress corrosion attack in the simulated superheat reactor environment of the CL-1 superheat facility. The methods of corrosion testing under heat transfer conditions reported previously were modified: to apply a longitudinal stress on the test sheaths to produce a 0.1 per cent elongation in 1000 hours; to increase the chloride content of the moisture carryover with the steam by increasing the chloride in the recirculating water to 1.5 ppm; and to expose the solids deposits to various metal temperatures. After 1000 hours of exposure, no significant attack was noted on the test sheaths. The test procedures were further altered to simulate the significant amount of SADE fuel element exposure to saturated steam at varying temperatures with little to no superheat being generated. A 776-hour total exposure was carried out with the test conditions cycled several times. The entrance heater (calculated metal temperature during normal operation …
