CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE ARGONNE HIGH FLUX REACTOR (open access)

CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS FOR THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF THE ARGONNE HIGH FLUX REACTOR

Critical experiments were performed with two assemblies simulating a cold clean, and an end-of-cycle,- Argonne High Flux Reactor, core. Data were obtained for flux distributions; cadmium ratios; temperature and void coefficients; and control rod, beam hole, and reflector worths. The data obtained furnished confirmation of theoretical predictions. The peak 2200-m/sec flux per unit power was measured as 3 x 10/sup 7/ n/(cm/sup 2/)(sec)(watt) for both cores. The two cores had internal H/sub 2/O thermal columns, 12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 50.8 cm. These were enclosed by 100-liter fuel zones. The radial reflector was 90% beryllium containing 10% H/sub 2/0 plus Plexiglas by volume. The top and bottom reflectors were H/sub 2/O. The critical mass was 3.58 kg U/sup 235/ with a 1.16 metal-towater ratio in the fuel zone. The critical mass with a 1.60 metal- to-water ratio, taking into account 34.3 kg Type 304 stainless steel, was 7.15 kg U/sup 235/. (auth)

Transient Temperature Distributions in a Thermally Orthotropic Plate With Non-Uniform Surface Heating (open access)

Transient Temperature Distributions in a Thermally Orthotropic Plate With Non-Uniform Surface Heating

ent temperature variation in a thermally orthotropic plate which is subjected to an arbitrary heating rate distribution along one face with all other surfaces being insulated. Dimensionless temperature histories and distributions determined from this solution are presented for the special, but representative, case of a linearly varying heating rate distribution on plates with varying degrees of thermal orthotropy. These results establish quantitatively the value of a material with high planar and low normal thermal conductivities for applications where it is desired to maintain minimum temperatures on the rear or unheated surface of a heat shield when the heated surface is subjected to a very non-uniform heating rate distribution. The applicability of simplifying assumptions in analyzing such a system is discussed. Experimental temperature measurements in a pyrolytic graphite plate heated by an oxyacetylene flame were made to verify the analytical results. Achievement of satisfactory agreement wss found to be dependent upon use of thermal property values differing from those presently available for this material. This is not unusual in that differences in production methods are known to introduce substantial property variations in anisotropic materials such as pyrolytic graphite. (auth)

A Theoretical Study of the Transient Operation and Stability of Two-Phase Natural Circulation Loops (open access)

A Theoretical Study of the Transient Operation and Stability of Two-Phase Natural Circulation Loops

Mathematical models of the time-dependent behavior of two-phase natural- circulation loops were used to predict the operation and to explain the unusual instability sometimes observed. The initial results obtained for a loop similar to the Univ. of Minnesota loop were used to formulate a more complex and accurate model, and the predicted transient behavior was in close agreement with the experimental results from the Minnesota loop. For a 300psia, high-pressure loop, unstable oscillatory behavior was predicted under certain conditions and stable behavior under others. Closed unstable regions rather than limits were predicted, and the specifications of stability in terms of a single parameter were found to be impossible. The great difference in oscillatory frequencies observed at low and high pressures was found to be due largely to the system geometry. The criterion for the absence of oscillations was found to be similar to one of the criteria for stability of chemical reaction systems. (D.L.C.)

Corrosion Tests in Molten Lead-Lead Chloride (open access)

Corrosion Tests in Molten Lead-Lead Chloride

Corrosion tests were run on some commercial grade metals, an alloy steel, stainless steels, chromium-- nickel-iron alloys, nickel base alloys, cobalt base alloys, and a chromium-- nickel-- cobalt-- iron ailoy in the system: leadlead chloride-lead chloride vapor at 528 deg C under an argon atmosphere. The following metals and alloys showed a corrosion rate of nine mils per month or less and did not suffer intergranular or other localized attack: tantalum, Incoloy 804, Hastelloy F, Carpenter-20 (Cb), stainless steels 316L, 318 Cb, Haynes Alloy 25, and Haynes Multimet (auth)

A Small Scale Countercurrent Liquid-Liquid Extractor (open access)

A Small Scale Countercurrent Liquid-Liquid Extractor

Details of design and operation are given for a laboratorysize, 20 - stage, multiple-contact, "unlimited-feed'', countercurrent-flow, liquid-liquid extractor. The apparatus consists mainly of glass parts that are joined by polyethylene tubing and are mounted in a steel cradle that can rotate on its horizontal axis. The reservoirs for feed liquids are an integral part of the assembly, and proper rotation of the assembly causes the flow of liquids to, through and from the extractor. Testing and developing of, and small scale production by, extraction systems are conveniently carried out in this extractor. Stagewise and product samples can be readily obtained for study of the extraction behavior of the components of a liquid-liquid system. (auth)

Dynamic Simulation of Multi-Pass Pressurized Water Nuclear Power Plants by Analog Computer Techniques (open access)

Dynamic Simulation of Multi-Pass Pressurized Water Nuclear Power Plants by Analog Computer Techniques

A kinetic model of the primary loop of a multi-pass pressurized water reactor power plant is developed to evaluate, by analog computer techniques, the transient response characteristics under conditions of steam generator load and reactor control rod perturbations. Using the 2-pass 28 Mw(t) SM-2 reactor as a typical plant, transient behavior patterns are illustrated and examined for a variety of load inputs, variations in plant constants, and analog model simplifications.

A Neutron Diffraction Study of Krypton in the Liquid State (open access)

A Neutron Diffraction Study of Krypton in the Liquid State

A study was made of the neutron diffraction patterns obtained from Kr liquid under seventeen conditions of temperature and pressure at 117 to 210 deg K. The low temperatures were used because the diffraction patterns and the corresponding radial distribution functions are more sharply defined near the liqdid triple point. (J.R.D.)

Preliminary Results of High-Temperature Bare U$sup 235$-C Critical Assembly Measurements (open access)

Preliminary Results of High-Temperature Bare U$sup 235$-C Critical Assembly Measurements

The influence of temperature on the critical buckling or bare graphite assemblies with various carbon-to-uranium235 molar ratios has been measured. A range from l185: 1 to 2l,690: 1 was covered, for 45 to 1205'F. Preliminary results indicate that the fractional rate of change of critical buckling with core temperature varies monotonically with C/U2as ratio by a factor of five over the factor-of-eighteen range in gross C/U2as ratio. This quantity appears to approach asymptotically a value near 2%/l00"F at very high C/U2ss ratios. (auth)

Pressure Drop of Multirod Elements With Helical Spring Spacers (open access)

Pressure Drop of Multirod Elements With Helical Spring Spacers

The pressure drop of a new fuel element design concept of spacing rods by means of helical wire springs was investigated experimentally and analytically. Extensive single- and two-phase pressure drop data at 1,000 psia were obtained for one flow geometry and helical spring spacer. Test conditions ranged from 0.7 to 1.2 x 10/sup 6/ lb/hr ft/sup 2/ in mass velocity and from 0 to 15% in quality. The effect of the specific spring which was tested was to increase the over-all pressure drop by 70%. A general analytical model was developed to predict the pressure drop of an element with helical spring spacers when the pressure drop without springs is known. The accuracy of the model, compared to the experimental data, was better than plus or minus 22%. The analytical model allows determination and evaluation of an optimum helical spring spacer design, so that pressure drop will not be a serious disadvantage. (auth)
