EGCR EXPERIMENTAL LOOPS, PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT (open access)

EGCR EXPERIMENTAL LOOPS, PRELIMINARY DESIGN REPORT

The EGCR was designed to accommodate up to four gascooled experimental loops plus several experimental fuel elements in the open core. Two of the loops will utilize 51/2-in.-O.D. stainless steel tubes passing through the core along an axis which is about 17 in. from the central axis of the core. The other two loops will utilize 91/2-in.-o.d. tubes about 68 in. from the central axis. Inherent safety in the design, facility design, primary loop design, auxiliary systems and equipment design, primary and secondary containment design, instrumentation and controls, and special operations are discussed.

Thermal Stress Testing of Type 1 Fuel Plates (open access)

Thermal Stress Testing of Type 1 Fuel Plates

Thermal stress tests on Type 1, SM-1A Core II fuel ele-ment sections were performed to study plate distortion and determine its dependency on temperature distribution, temperature differential, initial flatness, and ripple length. Test results will be correlated with the analytical model and used to predict ripple growth in other plate-type fuel elements. The tests showed that ripple growth is dependent on initial flatness of the plate and that the characteristic shape of ripples is maintained at all temperature differentials: The tests also showed that the ripple growth rate for a ripple of 5 mil initial magnitude is approximately 0.12 mils/ deg F for a peak temperature differential of 103 deg F and that the apparent relationship between ripple net growth and length is 1.3 mil/in. of ripple for a peak temperature differential of 103 deg F. A permanent distortion of 2 mils for a complete temperature cycle from 0 to 103 to O deg F differential was found. The temperature profile across the plate width was found to affect the magnitude of ripple growth. (auth)

AN ESTIMATE OF THE EFFECT OF NEUTRON-ENERGY SPECTRUM ON RADIATION DAMAGE OF STEEL (open access)

AN ESTIMATE OF THE EFFECT OF NEUTRON-ENERGY SPECTRUM ON RADIATION DAMAGE OF STEEL

The postulate that the average number of lattice displacements is directly proportional to the available energy is carried one step further; it is assumed that damage to steel (particularly in regard to brittle fracture) is proportional to the number of lattice vacancies that occur. The model, although crude, permits estimation of the relative damage resulting from differences in neutron spectra. The results can be used as a rough method of correcting damage data for the effect of the neutron-energy spectrum. Radiation damage calculations for steel, relative to those for a fission spectrum, were made for neutron spectra that result from fission neutrons penetrating water or graphite. The results were plotted as a function of effective distance from the fission source. From this plot it is possible to make a conservative estimate of the correction factor to apply to damage data obtained with different neutron spectra. (auth)

ISOPERIMETRIC AND OTHER INEQUALITIES IN THE THEORY OF NEUTRON TRANSPORT, II (open access)

ISOPERIMETRIC AND OTHER INEQUALITIES IN THE THEORY OF NEUTRON TRANSPORT, II

In a prevlous paper, some inequalities occurring in the one-veloclty theory of neutron transport with lsotropic scattering were derived. Some of the previous results are generalized to the case of linearly anisotropic scattering. (auth)

EFFECTIVE CUTOFF ENERGIES FOR B, Cd, Gd, AND Sm FILTERS (open access)

EFFECTIVE CUTOFF ENERGIES FOR B, Cd, Gd, AND Sm FILTERS

Effective energy cutoffs have been calculated on an IBM7090 computer for Cd, Gd, Sm, and B filters as functions of filter geometry, the ratio of Maxwellian to epithermal flux (assumed to be 1/E), the lower energy limit of the 1/E flux, the energy corresponding to the Maxwellian most probable (modal) velocity and filter thickness. The geometrical configurations were spherical (which on the assumptions madc is equivalent to a beam flux case), cylindrical and slab. By the use of two or three different filters (Cd and Gd and perhaps Sm) it should be possible to detect resonances in the thermal to cutoff energy regions, in addition to measuring resonance integrals and thermial cross sections of unknown nuclides.

Specifications and Fabrication Procedures for Type 3 Fuel Elements (open access)

Specifications and Fabrication Procedures for Type 3 Fuel Elements

Process and product requirements to be met in the fabrication of Type 3 fuel elements are presented. The fuel elements specified consist of thin plates of a dispersion of highly enriched UO/sub 2/ and ZrB/sub 2/ in a stainless steel matrix which is clad with stainless steel on all surfaces. Quality assurance provisions are discussed. Process and material specifications and packaging and packing for shipment are described. Sample calculations and drawings are included. (M.C.G.)

Temperature Coefficients of the Reactivity Measurement Facility (open access)

Temperature Coefficients of the Reactivity Measurement Facility

The temperature coefficient of the Reactivity Measurement Facility was found to be 49 plus or minus 1 mu k/ deg C (1 mu k = 10/sup -6/ DELTA k/k) in the range 15.4 to l7.8 deg C. The change in the net reactivity of a standard sample was --0.48 plus or minus 0.02, --0.66 plus or minus 0.03, and --0.78 plus or minus 0.02 mu k/ deg C in three measuring positions. These low values generally make temperature corrections insignificant. The above results are compared with previous determined values. This information developed in the RMF should be generally applicable to flux-trap-type reactors such as the Advanced Reactivity Measurement Facility (ARMF) and ARMF-ll, now under construction. RMF was dismantled in April 1962. (auth)

The Angular Distribution of Fission Fragments From the Fast Neutron-Induced Fission of U-234 (open access)

The Angular Distribution of Fission Fragments From the Fast Neutron-Induced Fission of U-234

Submitted to Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville. The fast neutron-induced fission cross section of U/sup 234/ was measured from threshold to 4-Mev neutron energy. A maximum of 1.26 barns was found at 850 kev followed by a minimum of 1.10 barns at 8050 kev. The angular ani-sotropy of the fragment distribution was measured for neutron energies from 400 kev to 4 Mev. Extrema in the ratio sigma /sub f//( sigma /sub f(90 deg ) were found at 500, 850, and 1050 kev; the distribution at 500 kev showing a maximum in the direction normal to the beam (side-wise peaking) while that at 850 kev showed a maximum along the beam direction. The distribution at 8050 kev showed forward peaking but to a lesser extent than for energies immediately higher or lower. The behavior was analyzed according to the theories of Bohr and Wheeler. The dip in cross section between 850 and 1050 kev is consistent with the suggestion of Wheeler that neutron competition in the decay of the compound nucleus enters with increased strength in this area. Vibration-rotational levels in U/sup 234/ beginning at 790 kev are known to exist and inelastic neutron scattering to these levels serves to depress the …
