Quarterly technical report discussing progress and activities of the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment.

Report containing research and development undertaken regarding the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment.

This is the first quarterly report which summarizes the project work on the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment. As the initial contract was not signed until November, 1956, progress within this reporting period has been limited to establishing objectives, determining what research and development will be required, and selecting preliminary design parameters.

Report concerning preliminary designs of the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment (LMFRE) facility. This includes descriptions of the reactor, degasser, and steam system, materials to be used, plant arrangement, building siting, and safety considerations.

The objective of this study is to establish a primary loop purification rate for normal operation to (1) maintain the activity created in the primary coolant water by corrosion products and other impurities (excluding fission products) at tolerable level and (2) minimize the crud deposition on the core heat-transfer surfaces.

This report provides an overview of the creation of the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment program. It furthers the work by constructing a single loop to test all the components required for the 16 loop reactor. This utility loop was also constructed to provide a facility for testing various components such as valves and flow meters.

The method present can be used to determine fluid flow and coolant pump speed transients in a nuclear reactor system. Included are transients due to power failure, starting pumps in idle loops, and the opening of an active pump's discharge. Parallel pumps in the system may be analysed independently of each other. Typical cases are presented for the N.S. Savannah (NMSR) and Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor (CETR).

This report summarizes the hazards associated with the operation of the Lynchburg Test Reactor (LTR) critical experiments. The LTR critical experiment program is outlined and the design of the experiment is described. The experiments will provide basic data to check two-dimensional calculational methods and provide information needed in the design of the LTR.

In the basic design for a two-fluid LMFRE, a seal has to be made between the metal core inlet and the graphite bottom reflector. To evaluate the effectiveness of such a method of sealing, a screening test apparatus was constructed to determine quickly the physical parameters and the best configuration for interface contact
