Thermal and nuclear design review of the NRX-A5 Reactor (open access)

Thermal and nuclear design review of the NRX-A5 Reactor

A thermal and nuclear NRX-A5 Design Review was held at WANL on April 10, 1964. Analyses and planning performed to date on the NRX-A5 and subsequent reactors were presented. Systems analyses were performed on various "cooled periphery".and "hot periphery" seal configurations. A number of inner reflector designs were examined, as well as means for cooling the lateral support springs. Core component redesign incl,uded methods for controlling inter-element pressure distribution by undercutting or chamfering of fuel elements. Changes in tie rod diameters, use of as-extruded fuel elements, and performance analysis of the various systems were also described. Nuclear analysis was confined to parametric studies on excess reactivity and control drum span for inner reflector material combinations of graphite, aluminum, and/or beryllium. Changes required to more precisely define the NRX-A5 were discussed together with the effects associated with the twice power reactor capability envisioned for subsequent reactors.

Calculation of the Shock Wave From an Underground Nuclear Explosion in Granite (open access)

Calculation of the Shock Wave From an Underground Nuclear Explosion in Granite

The capability of calculating the close-in effects of the shock wave from an underground nuclear explosion has been demonstrated. Agreement was obtained between calculation and measurements using .a spherically symmetric, hydrodynamic, elastic-plastic code called SOC for the Hardhat event, a 5-kiloton nuclear detonation in granite. This capability is dependent upon having a more or less complete de scription of the elastic and dynamic properties of the materials involved. When this information is available, agreement within the limits of uncertainty of the measurements can be calculated for peak pressures, peak particle velocities, shock wave time of arrival, and pressure pulse shapes.
