Irradiation Processing Department Investigation Report: Localized Exposure Exceeding Operational Control

This investigation report discusses the exposure of a maintenance craftsman to a radioactive particle found on his face which could have contributed to a dose as high as 4.6 rads. The craftsman had been working at the discharge area. (JL)

STRUCTURAL EVALUATION OF HNPF U-MO FUEL ELEMENTS (open access)

STRUCTURAL EVALUATION OF HNPF U-MO FUEL ELEMENTS

A structural evaluation is presentsd of the Hallam Power Reactor fuel elements. The fuel rcd spacer examined is an interim design, but the final spacer is considered to be adequately represented by the analysis of the interim design. Loading of the spacer is considered at temperatures up to 600 deg F. The maximum stress in the hanger rod is found to be 4700 psi. Creep in the fuel rod cladding from internal pressure is predicted to be 5.2% after 48 months of operation, based on a predicted volumetric growth of 15% caused by irradiation. Data indicate that the actual volumetric growth is only 6%, so that the predicted results are quite conservative. (T. F.H.)
