Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description is given of the design of a prototype "packaged" nuclear power plant. The purpose of the plant is to alleviate fuel oil logistics and storage problems posed by remote auxiliary DEW Line radar stations north of the Arctic Circle. The ALPR (redesignated SL-1) is a 3 Mwt, heterogeneous, highly enriched uranium- fueled, natural-circulation boiling water reactor, cooled and moderated with light water. Steam at 300 psig, dry and saturated (421 deg F) is passed directly from the reactor to a conventional turbine-generator to produce electric power (300 kw nominal) and space-heating (400 kw) requirements consistent with rigid mechanical and structural specifications prescribed by the military, and dictated by the extreme geophysics prevailing at the ultimate site. The over-all design criteria emphasize: simplicity and reliability of operation and maintenance, with minimum supervision; minimum on-site construction; maximum use of standard components; limited water supply; utilization of local gravel for biological shielding; transportability by air lift; and nominal 3-year fuel operating lifetime per core loading.
Download or read book Zero power Experiments on the Argonne Low Power Reactor ALPR written by D. H. Shaftman and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results are summarized for zero-power measurements carried out on the ALPR to study the characteristics of fuel assembly arrays, burnable poison strips, and control rods. The criteria were stable reactor operation at the design power of 3 Mwt, enough explicit and inherent reactivity for reactor operation for as long as 3 years, and enough control capacity for shutdown at any time during the core cycle. Two reference cores were used in the measurements: a final reference 40-fuel-assembly core for 3 Mwt operation and a reference 59-fuel-assembly loading for possible use at higher power levels in another plant. Aspects of design of the core and control system are discussed.

Download or read book Reactor Safeguards written by Charles R. Russell and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reactor Safeguards focuses on the measures and approaches in the safeguard of reactors. The book first discusses the development of nuclear reactors, including the emergence of radiation hazards, construction of nuclear reactors in Chicago, and containment of reactors. The text also focuses on radioactive materials; reactor kinetics; and control and safety systems of reactors. The text discusses the containment of nuclear reactors. Topics include nuclear excursions; combustion of reactor materials; melting of reactor fuels; design of containment structures; and size of breaks or leaks in cooling systems. The text also describes the dispersion of radioactive materials, including problems in operations, diffusion theory, and nomograms for graphical solutions. The book also highlights the possible damages that a nuclear reactor accident can produce. Considerations include the permissible dose of radiation, exposure to nuclear radiations, and evacuation from a contaminated area. The text is a valuable source of data for readers, engineers, and physicists who are responsible in hazard analysis and site selection.
Download or read book Hazards Summary Report on the JUGGERNAUT Reactor written by J. R. Folkrod and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Juggernaut is a light-water-cooled and moderated, graphite-reflected, heterogeneous thermal reactor designed to provide experimental facilities for conducting basic research in the neutron flux range to 4 x l012 n/cm sq./sec at an operating power level of 250 kw(t). Pertinent design and operating characteristics are tabulated. Evaluations are made for potential hazards posed by certain hypothetical major accidents during the operation, and the adequacy of the safeguards provided to insure that the health and safety of personnel, within and beyond the site boundary, are not unduly endangered. The results indicate that in the event of any conceivable reactivity increase, auxiliary and inherent safety features pecuIiar to the Juggernaut will operate to insure automatic shutdown through a nondestructive BORAX-type process.
