Hydraulic Instability In a Natural Circulation Loop With Wet Steam Generation at 1000 PSIA (open access)

Hydraulic Instability In a Natural Circulation Loop With Wet Steam Generation at 1000 PSIA

Experimental test loops have been used to study the problem of hydraulic stability. The oscillatory behavior of a single-phase and two-phase natural circulation loop has been examined at atmospheric pressures and oscillating modes of operation were studied in terms of heat input.

Post-Irradiation Examination of Cored, Edge Loaded, Thoria-Urania Nuclear Fuel (open access)

Post-Irradiation Examination of Cored, Edge Loaded, Thoria-Urania Nuclear Fuel

Three edge loaded thoria-urania nuclear fuel samples were assembled into a capsule, irradiated and examined. This irradiation was the first of a series to develop thoria-urania fuel for high heat flux, specific power and burn-up operation in a sodium graphite reactor.

Shielding on a 27,300 SHP Boiling Water Reactor Marine Propulsion System (open access)

Shielding on a 27,300 SHP Boiling Water Reactor Marine Propulsion System

This report summarizes the radiation and shielding analysis for a 30,000 SHP natural circulation boiling water reactor for ship propulsion. The reactor is proposed for installation in a 60,000 DWT, 18 knot tanker of the T-7 class.
