Book excerpt: The Stationary Low Power Reactor No. 1 (SL-1) was a boiling water reactor demonstration plant for the remote military bases. The plant had been operated by Combustion Engineering, Inc. from February, 1959 until January 3, 1961 at which time a nuclear excursion rendered the plant inoperable. This report summarizes the operations of maintenance, test, health and safety, and administrative activities for the year February, 1960 until the incident. This report is written in compliance with U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Contract AT(10-1)-967.

Book excerpt: The plant was operated from Feb. l959 until Jan. 3, 1961 when a nuclear excursion rendered the plant inoperable, A summary of operations is presented for the period Feb. 1960 until the incident. Plant operational tinwe during the period was 78% of that available. Satisfactory operation of conventional plant equipment was observed during 196 startups and scrams. An inspection of fuel assemblies after 700 Mwd showed no damage except to the B-Al strips attached to these assemblies. A greater than predieted gain in core reactivity was attributed to boron loss. Control rod sticking occurred 53 times ln 2,730 cases of operation. Test results on a PL-type condenser showed that its performance meets design rating. Steam quality remained greater than 99% for power levels up to 4.7 Mw(t) and radiation in the main steam system continued to be satisfactorily low. Waste handling requirements were increased but posed no problem. (J.R.D.).

Book excerpt: The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) established the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in 1949 as a place for the safe development of nuclear energy. It selected the desert site in eastern Idaho on the Snake River Plain for its abundant supply of subsurface water and its relative isolation from densely populated settlements. The land already was in public ownership because the United States Navy had used it as a proving ground in connection with its Pocatello Ordnance Depot during World War II. The NRTS presently consists of about 890 square miles. Its name was changed to Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in 1974 and then to Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory in 1997. The business of NRTS was to experiment with and then accumulate and disseminate knowledge about nuclear reactors. One of the major goals of the United States Congress was to promote a commercial nuclear power industry. Much of the testing and experimentation at the NRTS was related to reactor safety and promoted this goal directly. Military application, although focused on weapon systems such as nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft bombers, were expected to generate knowledge and experience transferable to a commercial industry.
