This book was released on 2014 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creep experiments have been performed on biaxially stressed 10 mm diameter Zr-2.5Nb capsules. As the pressurized capsules were obtained from micro-pressure tubes, which were fabricated by the same process as CANDU power reactor pressure tubes, they have a similar microstructure to that of the full-size tubes. The experiments were performed in the OSIRIS test reactor at nominal operating temperatures ranging from 553 and 613 K in fast neutron fluxes up to 2 x 1018 n.m-2.s-1 (E > 1 MeV). Diametral and axial strains are reported as functions of fluence for specimens internally pressurized to hoop stresses from 0 to 160 MPa and irradiated to 26.5 dpa. The effects of microstructure, temperature, and cold work on irradiation creep are shown. The analysis of OSIRIS data combined with data from in-service CANDU tubes has revealed some significant observations regarding pressure tube deformation: (i) that irradiation creep anisotropy varies with temperature, (ii) texture appears to have a more significant effect on axial creep than on diametral creep, (iii) diametral strain appears to be strongly dependent on grain size and aspect ratio, and (iv) that whereas cold-work correlates with the axial creep of the capsules, there appears to be no statistically significant dependence of diametral creep on cold-work.

Download or read book Plentiful Energy written by Charles E. Till and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) is a fast reactor system developed at Argonne National Laboratory in the decade 1984 to 1994. The IFR project developed the technology for a complete system; the reactor, the entire fuel cycle and the waste management technologies were all included in the development program. The reactor concept had important features and characteristics that were completely new and fuel cycle and waste management technologies that were entirely new developments. The reactor is a "fast" reactor - that is, the chain reaction is maintained by "fast" neutrons with high energy - which produces its own fuel. The IFR reactor and associated fuel cycle is a closed system. Electrical power is generated, new fissile fuel is produced to replace the fuel burned, its used fuel is processed for recycling by pyroprocessing - a new development - and waste is put in final form for disposal. All this is done on one self-sufficient site.The scale and duration of the project and its funding made it the largest nuclear energy R and D program of its day. Its purpose was the development of a long term massive new energy source, capable of meeting the nation's electrical energy needs in any amount, and for as long as it is needed, forever, if necessary. Safety, non-proliferation and waste toxicity properties were improved as well, these three the characteristics most commonly cited in opposition to nuclear power.Development proceeded from success to success. Most of the development had been done when the program was abruptly cancelled by the newly elected Clinton Administration. In his 1994 State of the Union address the president stated that "unnecessary programs in advanced reactor development will be terminated." The IFR was that program.This book gives the real story of the IFR, written by the two nuclear scientists who were most deeply involved in its conception, the development of its R and D program, and its management.Between the scientific and engineering papers and reports, and books on the IFR, and the non-technical and often impassioned dialogue that continues to this day on fast reactor technology, we felt there is room for a volume that, while accurate technically, is written in a manner accessible to the non-specialist and even to the non-technical reader who simply wants to know what this technology is.
