Startup and Initial Testing of SM-1 Core II With Special Components (open access)

Startup and Initial Testing of SM-1 Core II With Special Components

The loading operation for SM-1 Core II is described. Results of startup physics measurements (Test A-300 (Series) and fission product iodine monitoring in the primary coolant are given. The SM-1 Core II initial loading progressed satisfactorily, fulfilling the predictions of the zero power experiment performed at the Alco Criticality Facility. The initial cold clean five rod bank position was 6.53 in.; the initial hot, no xenon, five rod bank position was 9.62 in.; the initial hot, equilibrium xenon, five rod bank position was 11.41 in.; and the initial hot, peak xenon, five rod bank position was 12.14 in. Rods A and B were 19.00 in. in all four measurements. Stuck rod measurements indicated that an adequate shutdown margin was available with 20% of the rods fully withdrawn. All rod calibrations indicated a distinct shift and broadening of the peaks when compared with similar Core I calibrations. The temperature coefficient for Core II was 3.5 cents/ deg F at 440 deg F. Equilibrium xenon was worth approximately - 00 while peak xenon was worth - 43, both relative to the hot, no xenon core condition. During the period June 2, 1961 through September 30, 1961, the reactor operated at a total …

Reactor Controls Reliability and Maintenance at the ORR (open access)

Reactor Controls Reliability and Maintenance at the ORR

Early evaluation and study of the various criteria for the ORR clearly established the requirements for the fundarnental safety and control instrumentation, and the instrumentation was well integrated into the design and construction of the plant. However, it was not designed for the optimum of maintenance convenience and minimum reactor down time in the event of instrument failure. The revisions and additions that have been made in the physical plant and maintenance which have resulted in a definite reduction of reactor down time resulting from instrument failure in the reactor and in the experiments are described.

Comparison of Gaseous Waste Handling Systems for PL-3 (open access)

Comparison of Gaseous Waste Handling Systems for PL-3

Gaseous waste handling systems are compared for direct and indirect boiling water and pressurized water reactors for PL-3 application. Areas that are common to the various concepts are not discussed since they do not enter into a comparison study. The major differences present are in the handling of active gases released to or held in the primary system coolant. These gases which could be present, their possibIe release from the system, and the necessary processing requirements are discussed in detail. Sufficient information is presented to enable one to analyze the methcds required to remove gaseous activity present in other size and type pressurized and boiIing water reactors. (auth)

Primary Shield Optimization Survey for the PL-3 Reactor (open access)

Primary Shield Optimization Survey for the PL-3 Reactor

A detailed study of four reactor and shield configurations was made. Two basic reactor types, the boiling water and pressurized water reactors were considered. Shield materials of lead-water and iron-water were used with varying thicknesses for determining the optimum shield configuration for the PL-3 reactor. Also presented is a survey of available shielding codes. (auth)

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, October-December 1961 (open access)

Chemical Processing Technology Quarterly Progress Report, October-December 1961

The ICPP processed Al fuel, prtncipally of the MTR-ETR type, durtng this quarter. Newly designed and installed processing equipment exhibited excellent operating performance. This included direct-air-pulsed extraction, stripping and scrub columns, and a cascade-controlled continuous evaporator in first cycle product concentration service. Aqueous zirconium fuel processing studies continued with the objective of adapting the hydrofluoric acid process to continuous dissolution-complexing to increase the capacity of the LCPP process while using as much existing equipment as possible to minimize costs. Six variations of hydrofluoric acid flowsheets were tested in a smallscale continuous dissolvers. Dissolution rates were found to be high in all cases and dissolution was easily initiated at temperatures as low as 36 deg C. Monel and Carpenter 2O(Nb) were found to be satisfactory construction materials, from the standpoint of corroston, if oxidizing conditions were carefully controlled. Additional studies are reported on the stability of blended Zr and Al process raffinates and on the nature of the solids which result from the sodium formate headend precipitation process. Electrolytic dissolution studies, dtrected at fundamentals of current utiltzation in a series''-type dissolver, demonstrated that high current utilization is obtained when the polarization resistance is small compared with the solution resistance. Factors affecting …

THE OAK RIDGE RESEARCH REACTOR (ORR), THE LOW-INTENSITY TESTING REACTOR (LITR), AND THE OAK RIDGE GRAPHITE REACTOR (OGR) AS EXPERIMENT FACILITIES

>Characteristics of the ORR, LITR, and OGR that experimenters have found to be important are listed. The results of a survey conducted among experimenters on the utility of the reactors for various types of experiments are discussed, and some changes which might be made to improve the utilization are listed. A brief outline, with references, of most of the experiments currently being performed is included. (auth)

DEVELOPMENT OF FREEZE VALVE FOR USE IN THE MSRE (open access)

DEVELOPMENT OF FREEZE VALVE FOR USE IN THE MSRE

Three types of frozen-seal valves'' were tested for possible use in the MSRE. The seal was melted by direct resistance heat, by induction heat, and by clamp-on Calrod heat. The frozen seal was made in a preformed restriction section of a standard piece of pipe by a cooling-gas jet stream directed at the restriction. All three valves performed satisfactorily through 100 test cycles. The Calrodheated valve was selected for MSRE use on the basis of simplicity of design and of operation. Two of the valves are successfully undergoing further tests on the MSRE Engineering Test Loop. (auth)
