High Performance UO2 Program Third Quarterly Progress Report: October-December 1961 (open access)

High Performance UO2 Program Third Quarterly Progress Report: October-December 1961

The primary purpose of this joint USAEC-Euratom program is to obtain a better understanding of the maximum achievable operating characteristics of UO2 as a reactor fuel. During the program work will be performed in two areas that have been of concern to reactor core designers for a long time, namely, fission gas release and central melting in fuel rods.

Economic Evaluation of Control Rod Materials and Fabrication Processes (open access)

Economic Evaluation of Control Rod Materials and Fabrication Processes

Control rod materials, designs, and fabrication processes are compared for their relative economies. Control rod lifetime data are calculated with a simple approximation of nuclear worth depreciation. These data are used in conjunction with the estimated fabrication costs to determine the cost of using several absorber materials in a typical power reactor on a cost-per-year basis. The effect the control system has on core power density and fuel lifetime is included.

Application of Boron Carbide Nickel Dispersion to a Prototype Control Rod (open access)

Application of Boron Carbide Nickel Dispersion to a Prototype Control Rod

Previously reported results on the testing of small samples of boron carbide dispersed in nickel by electrolytic codeposition were adequately encouraging to lead to the development of a prototype control rod for operation in the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor. The operation of the control rod has been entirely satisfactory.
