Program for the Development of Plutonium Recycle for Use in Light Water Moderated Reactors Quarterly Progress Report: April 1 - June 30, 1964

A research program is being conducted to obtain experimental data in the irradiation of plutonium-enriched fuel to confirm a theoretical model for predicting isotopic composition and reactivity changes in plutonium-enriched, light-water-moderated reactors. Quarterly progress: Project fuel fins irradiated to 1860, 3000, and 5300 MWD/T have been successfully sampled in the Radioactive Materials Laboratory. The samples have been dissolved and aliquots delivered to Chemistry for Mass Spectrometry and burnup determination. The first Stanford Pool Irradiation indicated that there was some inconsistency in the thermal flux and the near thermal epithermal flux. The experiment was repeated, increasing the number of foil wheel positions from two to three. The data from the second measurement are being reduced. The EPITHERMOS code modification has been completed. Comparisons between the results computed by the code and experimental data show much improved agreement. The metallographic photomicrographs of a polished half-pellet from rod F, irradiated to 5000 MWD/T, show structure very similar to that shown by the pellet from rod S, irradiated to 1860 MWD/T.

Development Program for Increased Output in the Garigliano Nuclear Reactor. Quarterly Report No. 7

The United States and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), on May 29, and June 18, 1958, signed an agreement which provides a basis for co-operation in programs for the advancement of the peaceful applications of atomic energy. The work described in this report represents the Joint U.S.-Euratom effort. The over-all development program is designed to obtain the test data and operating experience necessary to eventually realize a 50 percent increase in the output of the Garigliano Nuclear Power Station located at Sessa Aurunca (Campania, Italy). One task is in progress: Task I - Data Logging and Computer System. The work on the other tasks is being planned and initiated.
