Summary of HRT Run 14

This report presents a detailed study of HRT Run 14, which was abruptly terminated by the formation of a hole in the Zircaloy-2 core tank. In this run the reactor was operated at high temperature and pressure for ten days from March 25 to April 4, 1958. Nuclear power operation extended from March 29 until April 4, when fuel solution leaked into the heavy-water blanket. The maximum power level attained was 6.4 Mw.

Calculations for Irradiation of Natural UO2-ThO2 (open access)

Calculations for Irradiation of Natural UO2-ThO2

Calculations are given for eighteen stainless steel clad helium bonded specimens of UO2-ThO2 containing normal U to be placed in 6 holes in a holder in a position of the ORR not to exceed a peak unperturbed flux of 4 x 10^14 n.cm^2/sec and irradiated to a peak nvt of 1.96 x 10^21 neutrons/cm^2
