MIT LMFBR blanket physics project progress report No. 7, July 1, 1975--September 30, 1976

Work during the period was devoted primarily to a range of analytical/numerical investigations, including evaluation of means to improve external blanket designs, beneficial attributes of the use of internal blankets, improved methods for the calculation of heterogeneous self-shielding and parametric studies of calculated spectral indices. Experimental work included measurements of the ratio of U-238 captures to U-235 fissions in a standard blanket mockup, and completion of development work on the radiophotoluminescent readout of LiF thermoluminescent detectors. The most significant findings were that there is very little prospect for substantial improvement in the breeding performance of external blankets, but internal blankets continue to show promise, particularly if they are used in such a way as to increase the volume fraction of fuel inside the core envelope. An improved equivalence theorem was developed which may allow use of fast reactor methods to calculate heterogeneously self-shielded cross sections in both fast and thermal reactors.

Liquid Metal Engineering Center (LMEC) annual technical progress report, January-December 1975 (open access)

Liquid Metal Engineering Center (LMEC) annual technical progress report, January-December 1975

During operation of the prototype FFTF sodium pump, it is necessary to know the position of the pump shaft relative to the sodium-lubricated hydrostatic bearing journals. Performance of the Kaman proximity measurement system was known to be affected by the type of media between the gap to be measured. Since Kaman Sciences Corp. did not have liquid sodium testing capabilities, LMEC was requested to evaluate a spare prototype system. Determination of the sodium performance characteristics of the Kaman proximity systems was a necessary requisite for use of four prototype systems in the FFTF prototype pump test program.

Study of reduction of accessory horsepower requirements. Sixth quarterly progress report (open access)

Study of reduction of accessory horsepower requirements. Sixth quarterly progress report

The objective of this program is to evolve and define an accessory drive system that will minimize system power consumption of driven accessories on an internal combustion engine in a passenger automobile. The initial program phases established concept feasibility, determined potential fuel savings, and selected a drive system design for concept mechanization. The present Phase IV carries the program through prototype fabrication and bench, engine, and vehicle tests. The final program objective is a detail drive system design and a demonstrated overall vehicle fuel savings potential. The major technical accomplishments during this reporting period were: hydromechanical and mechanical variable-ratio belt drive fabrications completed; compact vehicle fuel economy analysis completed; initial engine check runs for both drive systems were completed; mechanical drive system development and performance mapping was initiated; hydromechanical drive system development tests and modifications were initiated; the hydromechanical drive system installation into the test vehicle was completed; the engine/dynamometer test rig, including accessory load simulators, was completed; and the basic test vehicle instrumentation was completed.
