Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sandia ACRR became operational in 1978 and currently serves as the major in-pile fast reactor safety test facility for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The ACRR is an upgrade of the Annular Core Pulse Reactor (ACPR) with the installation of a new flexible control system and a core of uniquely designed BeO-UO2 fuel elements for increasing the neutron fluence in the experiment cavity. The reactor is now capable of driving multi-pin advanced reactor test fuel into vapor with a pulse width of 5 msec. In the steady state mode, the reactor can simulate post accident decay heat at prototypic levels in fission heated debris beds up to 10 cm in diameter. A number of programmed operating modes including high power square waves, ramps and pulses can produce a multitude of power profiles in order to simulate the power histories in the various accident scenarios. The reactor capabilities and the reactor safety research test program are discussed.

Download or read book Lessons Learned from Sandia National Laboratories Operational Readiness Review of the Annular Core Research Reactor ACRR written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sandia ACRR (a Hazard Category 2 Nuclear Reactor Facility) was defueled in June 1997 to modify the reactor core and control system to produce medical radioisotopes for the Department of Energy (DOE) Isotope Production Program. The DOE determined that an Operational Readiness Review (ORR) was required to confirm readiness to begin operations within the revised safety basis. This paper addresses the ORR Process, lessons learned from the Sandia and DOE ORRS of the ACRR, and the use of the ORR to confirm authorization basis implementation.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the update of the Safety analysis Report (SAR) for the Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR), operational limiting events under the category of inadvertent withdrawal of an experiment while at power or during a power pulse were determined to be the most limiting event(s) for this reactor. This report provides a summary of the assumptions, modeling, and results in evaluation of: Reactivity and thermal hydraulics analysis to determine the amount of fuel melt or fuel damage ratios; The reactor inventories following the limiting event; A literature review of post NUREG-0772 release fraction experiment results on severe fuel damages; Decontamination factors due to in-pool transport; and In-building transport modeling and building source term analysis.
