Sources and Availability of Helium (open access)

Sources and Availability of Helium

A review of helium sources, availability, consumption, and future production capacity indicates that the helium consumed in the operation of 100 helium-cooled reactors for 300-Mwe power plants over a 20-year period will run no more than a few per cent of the helium consumed in the U. S. in the next 25 years and less than 1% of the helium that is to be stored during that period under the helium conservation act of 1960 (Public Law 86-777).

A Useful Solution for Short Cylindrical Shells and Other Applications (open access)

A Useful Solution for Short Cylindrical Shells and Other Applications

The general solution to the basic differential equation d^4w/dy^4 +4w= -4f(y) is transformed from the primary form treated in most texts to an alternate form in which each integration constant corresponds to one edge condition at y=0. The relationships between the integration constants of the two forms are derived and the values for the transformed functions are tabulated. The particular solution is derived in general and given in unique form for various functional forms of f(y). Matrix notation is used throughout the derivations; however, a knowledge of matrix theory is not need for application of the results.

Pressure Vessel Exposure to Fast Neutrons (open access)

Pressure Vessel Exposure to Fast Neutrons

In a gas-cooled reactor operating at very high power density the thickness of the reflector may be determine by the requirement that the steel pressure vessel be protected from an excessive dose of fast neutrons, rather than by the usual requirements of neutron economy and power distribution. It is important the the reflector not be made thicker than necessary, since an increase in pressure vessel diameter can result in a marked increase in cost, as well as a decrease in the permitted gas pressure level.

Maintenance of Various Reactor Types (open access)

Maintenance of Various Reactor Types

This technical report presents an overview of nuclear reactor maintenance to be used in planning a nuclear reactor. There are certain basic maintenance fundamentals that are common to all types of reactors that may be' incorporated in a power producing facility. Basically, there are only two types of maintenance procedures. The direct type, which is common to conventional steam plants, may be used in some areas where the radioactivity is low enough. In most parts of the plant, maintenance will of necessity be remote due to the high level of radioactivity. For simplicity of description in this report all reactor types are divided into two general classes: solid fuel types and circulating fuel types. The report lists nine types of reactor power plant types with advantages and disadvantages maintenance-wise of each.

Deflection Equations for Various Loading of Circular-Arc Curved Beams (open access)

Deflection Equations for Various Loading of Circular-Arc Curved Beams

In analyzing stresses, deflections, and forces in piping and certain structural systems, it is useful to have a set of equations giving the deflections at any point of a curved beam in terms of the various loads acting on the beam. This technical report presents the deflection equations for a curved circular-arc beam of variable length. The cases treated include in-plane and out-of-plane bending due to forces and moments applied to the end of the beam in three principal directions, and uniformly distributed loads applied along the beam in these three directions. Deflections were calculated by the strain energy method using Castigliano's theorem.
