Pressure Rise in HRT Shield Due to Reactor and Replacement heat Exchanger Rupture

.Recalculations were made of HRT cell pressures in the event of a simultaneous rupture of the reactor core vessel and the fuel and blanket heat exchangers. These calculations will be applicable after the replacement fuel heat exchanger is installed. The pressure rise in the cell is plotted as a function of time. A maximum cell pressure of 34 psig is achieved ~7 sec after rupture.

Suggestion for High Pressure Letdown Device

A letdown valve design is described which reduces erosion of the sealing surfaces. It also provides for water flushing of the sealing surface before closing.
