Reactor Engineering Division Quarterly Report Section I January, February, March. 1956

Physical calculations have been performed for various combinations of the four types of fuel assemblies to be used in the EBWR core. Two thicknesses of plates (0.205 in. and 0.274 in., including two 0.020-in. cladding layers) are to be made of both natural uranium and uranium containing 1.44% U235. Any given fuel assembly contains six identical plates. A total of 148 assemblies, 74 natural and 74 enriched, are to be fabricated. Various configurations of these fuel assemblies can be used to (1) change the critical size of the core, (2) change the power distribution in the core or (3) change the amount of reactivity corresponding to a given steam volume in the core. Physics calculations show that any uncertainties in the required critical mass are adequately covered by the number and variety of fuel assemblies, and that the changes in core characteristics possible with the different fuel assemblies should provide valuable information about the factors affecting maximum power density and stability in a boiling reactor.

The Manufacture of Enriched ZPR-III Fuel Plates

This report is essentially a procedural account of the fabrication of certain enriched ZPR-III fuel plates for use in the ANL fast critical experiments at Arco, Idaho. A total of 208.92 kilograms of fully enrich, unalloyed uranium was processed. Of this amount 202.74 kilograms was received in the form of Oak Ridge type reduction buttons and 6.18 kilograms as pressed-powder plates. The completed fabrication consisted of 720 rectangular fuel plates having the nominal dimensions 3in. x 2in. x 1/8in. Their combined weight of 159.21 kilograms represents 76.22% of the weight of enriched material processed. The final distribution of the enriched material was as follows: [figure not transcribed].
