Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fast Mixed-Spectrum Reactor (FMSR) concept has been proposed by BNL as a means of alleviating certain nonproliferation concerns relating to civilian nuclear power. This breeder reactor concept has been tailored to operate on natural uranium feed (after initial startup), thus eliminating the need for fuel reprocessing. The fissile material required for criticality is produced, in situ, from the fertile feed material. This process requires that large burnup and fluence levels be achievable, which, in turn, necessarily implies that large fission-product inventories will exist in the reactor. It was the purpose of this study to investigate the effects of large fission-product inventories and to analyze the effect of burnup on fission-product nuclide distributions and effective cross sections. In addition, BNL requested that a representative 50-group fission-product library be generated for use in FMSR design calculations.

Book excerpt: As a part of the Fast-Mixed Spectrum Reactor (FMSR) Project, a study was made on the adequacy of the conventional fission product lump models for the analysis of the different FMSR core concepts. A two-lump fission product model consisting of an odd-A fission product lump and an even-A fission product lump with transmutation between the odd- and even-A lumps was developed. This two-lump model is capable of predicting the exact burnup-dependent behavior of the fission products within a few percent over a wide range of spectra and is therefore also applicable to the conventional fast breeder reactor.

This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Initial Feasibility Study of the Fast Mixed Spectrum Reactor, a series of benchmark calculations were made to determine the sensitivity of the physics analysis to differences in methods and data. Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) were invited to participate with Brookhaven National Laboratory in the analysis of a FMSR model prescribed by BNL. Detailed comparisons are made including a comprehensive study on the adequacy of the fission product treatments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactor physics and fuel cycle studies, coordinated with heat transfer and material science and structural analysis work has indicated the feasibility potential of the coupled Fast-Mixed Spectrum Reactor (FMSR) concept. This concept employs what are considered reasonable extrapolations of present fast breeder reactor technology to achieve a once-through-and-store reactor fuel cycle. Since the fuel cycle for this reactor is intended to use only natural or depleted uranium for its equilibrium feed, the resultant reactor would have excellent anti-proliferation characteristics. It would also extend utilization of natural uranium resources by a factor of about 15 relative to LWR reactors when on its equilibrium fuel cycle; startup requirements would of course reduce this factor.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Models describing the production of freely migrating defects (FMD) during neutron irradiations were applied to materials studies in fast reactors, where neutron spectral effects have been largely ignored. Calculations for the Experimental Breeder Reactor 2 (EBR-2) and the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) show that effects of spectral differences between in-core and out-of-core positions are significantly larger on the basis of freely migrating defects than on the basis of dpa. As an example, data on swelling behavior measured both in-core and out-of-core in EBR-2 show nearly a linear dependence on FMD production but not on dpa.
