Effects of Letdown Rates and Oxygen Injection Rates on Xenon Poison Level and Excess Oxygen Concentration in the HRT (open access)

Effects of Letdown Rates and Oxygen Injection Rates on Xenon Poison Level and Excess Oxygen Concentration in the HRT

Calculations indicate that it is impossible, even at high oxygen injection rates, to insure an excess of oxygen in the HRT fuel solution if the bubble letdown rate is more than 1 or 2 liters per minute. If, on the other hand, no bubbles are allowed to form, a reasonable excess oxygen concentration can be maintained with an oxygen injection rate which would not tax the capacity of the off-gas system. The xenon poison will be reduced to less than 2% by liquid letdown alone, and if an iodine absorption bed is installed below the catalytic recombiner, the xenon poison should be less than 1% without any bubble letdown. Therefore, it is recommended that sufficient copper be added to prevent the formation of gas bubbles and that the oxygen injection rate be limited to a value which would permit adequate holdup times in the present charcoal adsorption beds, assuming this quantity is sufficient to meet corrosion requirements.

Time Dependence of the Slowing Down of Neutrons with Constant Scattering Mean Free Path

Simple expression are derived for the time dependence of slowing down of neutrons in a simple media. In Section I, a method suggested by age theory is used, while in section II, a two parameter scattering function is employed. Results are compared with exact calculations.

Phase Diagrams of Zirconium-Beryllium and Related Systems (open access)

Phase Diagrams of Zirconium-Beryllium and Related Systems

Introduction. The phase diagram data reported in this paper were obtained during an investigation of the beryllium-metal compounds of the titanium group transition elements. Several compounds in these systems had been previously reported but their compositions and structures were not all known. In the course of this study many details of the phase diagrams of the system were observed. Tentative diagrams consistent with this data will be presented.
