Work was continued on the development of a process for the gasification of bituminous coal with heat from a nuclear reactor. Major objectives of the project are: (1) develop and test components for a gas-cooled reactor system that can heat gases to 2000/sup 0/ to 2500/sup 0/F; (2) investigate coal gasification methods compatible with this system; and (3) develop an exchanger that can utilize high-temperature heat to gasify coal or heat chemical process streams. During the past year, work was concentrated on the design, construction and installation of a fluidized-bed gasifier in the high-temperature heat system. Design of the fluidized-bed gasifier was based on information obtained from laboratory and pilot-scale gasifiers. The gasification chamber, a length of 6-inch, schedule 80 stainless steel pipe, is fitted with ten 1/2-inch Hastelloy-X tubes running lengthwise. Hot helium flowing through the 1/2-inch tubes provides heat for the gasification of the steam-fluidized char in the 6-inch pipe. Helium leaving the gasifier generates the superheated steam required for gasification. Fabrication and installation of the gasifier was completed and shakedown runs started. In the gasifier, the heat-exchanger tubes will be heated to 1900/sup 0/F in a mixture of the corrosive gases, including H/sub 2/, CO, CO/sub 2/, …

The effects of explosion-induced ground motion must be evaluated in planning and executing any nuclear excavation project. For some projects ground motion intensity may dictate the use of less-than-optimum yields to minimize damaging effects. In remote areas, weighing the alternatives of outright purchase of some property or use of smaller yields may be required. The cost of indemnifying owners against damage must be considered in any case. Discussions of the effects of ground motion on three broad types of facilities- engineered structures, residual buildings, and equipment required for the support oi nuclear excavation operations-- are presented. A method of predicting the response of single- and multistoried buildings, the response spectrum technique, is discussed, with emphasis on the application of explosion-induced spectra. Conclusions drawn from several tests of damage to residential-type buildings are presented. Included are data from four investigations of damage caused by commercial and industrial blasting and the results of several studies made in conjunction with underground nuclear detonations. Finally, a survey of damage to the equipment required to carry out excavation projects is summarized. (auth)

This report presents the design significance of the test results and their application to actual reactor operation. In so doing, it complies with the NRX-A2 component test analysis requirements.

This preliminary budget estimate for the Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility High Activity Parts Storage Area, Spent Fuel Storage Facility, and railroad system modifications is based upon the conceptual design criteria presented in Report No. RN-S-0008.

Comparisons of the experimental data on seal pressure distributions obtained from the A-11 Flow Induced Vibration Test, Phases I and III, with analytical results including porous flow through the unimpregnated inner reflector cylinder for the same operating conditions show generally very good agreement. The principal deviations between analysis and experiment occurs when high pressure ratios exist across the last seal. Additional investigation, both in the relationship used in the analytical model and in the experimental area, are required to determine the cause of the deviation found between analysis and experiment when the pressure ratio across the last seal is near critical. As a result of this comparison, it appears that the analytical methods and assumtions made in predicting unheated seal pressure distributions are resonable, and may be used with confidence in the test prediction of the NRX-A1 cold flow test.
