Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Specifications for the fuel assemblies Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor (EGCR) Core-I were developed for use in procuring the first core loading. A fuel assembly for the EGCR consists of a cluster of seven cylindrical fuel elements spaced and supported within a graphite sleeve. Each fuel element consists of a stainless-steel tube containing a column of hollow UO2 pellets and having a spacer brazed at the midsection to control the spacing between fuel elements in a cluster. A master specification for the fuel assembly, a supplementary specification for each of the components, and a specification on record keeping daring manufacture are included. (auth).

This book was released on 1960 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A program has been set up to develop and evaluate a ceramic-core pin- type fuel element for the Army GasCooled Reactor Systems Program. The method being used is to irradiate full-scale fuel elements in test loops (BRRGCR, GETR, and ETR) under known reactor conditions. The experiment designated IB-IT, which is described, was the first in a proposed series of tests. Twvo prototype elements were run in a gas-cooled Icop in the Battelle Research Reactor. Average power generation of the elements was 30 kw. Irradiation times ranged from 35 to 165 hr. Results of the tests indicated that the enrichment of UO/sub 2/ in the outer circle of pins is close to the optimum value. The use of a finned surface on one of the test elements did not signicantly increase the heat-transfer properties. No significant distortions occurred in the elements as a result of thermal cycling.

This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication reports on the results of a coordinated research project on advances in high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) fuel technology and describes the findings of research activities on coated particle developments. These comprise two specific benchmark exercises with the application of HTGR fuel performance and fission product release codes, which helped compare the quality and validity of the computer models against experimental data. The project participants also examined techniques for fuel characterization and advanced quality assessment/quality control. The key exercise included a round-robin experimental study on the measurements of fuel kernel and particle coating properties of recent Korean, South African and US coated particle productions applying the respective qualification measures of each participating Member State. The summary report documents the results and conclusions achieved by the project and underlines the added value to contemporary knowledge on HTGR fuel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Title I design fuel assembly and each of its components for the Experimental Gas-cooled Reactor are described. The development of the specific nondestructive testing techniques for the evaluation of the components and the fabricated fuel capsule is presented. These techniques include penetrants, pulse- echo and resonance ultrasonics, radiography, eddy-currents, helium leak testing, and others. Discussion is made on the capabilities and limitations of these techniques for the specific inspection problems and reasons presented for the selection of the inspection requirements. (auth).

This book was released on 1961 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) fuel assemblies consist of a cluster of seven fuel elements contained in a graphite sleeve. Each element is composed of hollow cylindrical UO2 pellets encapsulated in a type 304 stainless steel tube. The dimensional behavior of the fuel element was determined in an apparatus which simulated the thermal conditions predicted for the EGCR. Particular emphasis was placed on determining the relationship between the fuel temperature and axial expansion, the radial expansion characteristics of the fuel, the effect of cladding and fuel interaction on heating and subsequent cooling, the effect of rapid temperature excursions on the degradation of the fuel, and accumulative effects in the fuel element due to thermal cycling. An element that contains a radial gap between the cladding and the fuel pellet was found to respond to thermal cycling in the same manner that the individual components would react if subjected to the same thermal conditions and tested separately. Both the axial and radial expansion of the fuel pellet are very nearly a function of the maximum central temperature. The axial expansion of the fuel pellet column can be reduced appreciably at elevated temperatures by "dishing" the ends of the pellets. The pellets fracture radially and circumferentially upon heating, but redistribution of the fuel does not occur. If no radial gap exists between the fuel and the cladding, the expansion characteristics of the element during thermal cycling are a function of the fuel temperature, cladding temperature, and the external pressure exerted on the ele ment by the coolant stream. Thermal cycling may introduce plastic axial strains intc the cladding depending upon the details of the temperature cycle and the pressure conditions. (auth).
