Observed Net Heat Loss from the HRT High-Pressure System (open access)

Observed Net Heat Loss from the HRT High-Pressure System

An estimate has been obtained of the heat that should be generated in the HRT core in order to hold the system at operating temperature under no-load conditions. This estimate was made by measuring the feed-water rate to the package boiler during an oxygenated water rung. Results are summarized.

Testing of Adsorptive Capacity of Charcoal Beds : HRT Test No II-A 10 b (open access)

Testing of Adsorptive Capacity of Charcoal Beds : HRT Test No II-A 10 b

During the pre-startup phase of the HRT operations, moisture was accidentally introduced into the charcoal bed adsorbers in the off-gas system. Tests have been made to determine the effect of wetting upon the adsorptive properties of the charcoal. The work was divided into two phases, testing of fresh charcoal in the laboratory and testing of the HRT charcoal beds in situ. It is recommended that the beds be dried by heating them to about 40 C and purging each with one to two liters/min of dry instrument air.

Performance of HRT Charcoal Beds (open access)

Performance of HRT Charcoal Beds

The expected performance of the HRT carbon beds was calculated for various reactor operating conditions. the calculations indicated that the flow rate of sweep gas will have to be limited to prevent excessive activity discharge. Data on activity discharge are included.
