Book excerpt: The physics design problems of the EBR-II are summarized. These include analysis of the EBR-II engineering design as well as applicable zero-power critical experiments. Pertinent reactor safety problems are reviewed. Safety considerations bearing on normal plant operation and manipulations within the reactor are emphasized. The implication of controlled in-pile meltdown experiments is considered. Irradiation damage and metallurgical phase phenomena are summarized and related to reactivity. The nuclear performance of the system is considered in terms of actual plant operation. The predicted shift of both power and reactivity from core to radial reflector is described.

Book excerpt: Koch, former manager of the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II), offers a first-hand account of the development, design, construction, and initial operation of this facility, which has contributed to the foundation of knowledge for all fast reactors. He explains why certain design choices were made while others were rejected. He also outlines how he thinks that future sodium cooled fast reactors should be designed, based on the experience gained with EBR-II. An appendix traces the lineage of EBR-II, including original memos and meeting notes, beginning with Enrico Fermi and Walter Zinn and progressing to the formation of the EBR-II project. B&w photos and illustrations are included. The book is of interest to designers of future fast reactors. There is no subject index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Reactors: Physics, Design and Economics contains the proceedings of the International Conference held at Atlanta, Georgia on September 8-11, 1974. Organized according to the sessions of the conference, this book first describes the national programs for the development of advanced reactors. Subsequent sessions centers on economics of advanced reactors; developments in reactor theory; advanced reactor experiments and analysis; cross section data and calculational methods. The last three sessions focus on sensitivity analysis of integral reactor parameters; problems in the design of advanced reactors; and the design and operational experience for advanced reactors.

Download or read book Design and Operating Experience of EBR II Intermediate Heat Exchanger written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) has operated for over 15 years at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory near Idaho Falls. EBR-II has served the nation in providing information on fuels, materials, and components under conditions approaching those expected for commercial power plants. In addition, EBR-II is a power plant generating electricity with an availability of about 70%. A key component, the Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX), of any Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) must perform with a high degree of reliability for successful commercialization. The design and operating experience gained from EBR-II demonstrates that the IHX can be built and operated with confidence that its performance and reliability will be satisfactory.

Book excerpt: These experiments are preoperational zero-power nuclear investigations in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) prior to insertion of sodium coolant. The experiments were performed with the power reactor instruments, fuel and mechanical components installed. The measured dry critical size, reactivity worth of control mechanisms and isothermal temperature coefficient of reactivity are in good agreement with predicted values. Additional measurements include neutron flux distributions in the uranium reflector and outside the reactor neutron shield.

Download or read book EBR II written by and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 2 (EBR-II) is an unmoderated, sodium-cooled reactor with a design power of 62.5 MWt. For the last 20 years EBR-II has operated safely, has demonstrated stable operating characteristics, has shown excellent performance of its sodium components, and has had an excellent plant factor. These years of operating experience provide a valuable resource to the nuclear community for the development and design of future liquid metal fast reactors. This report provides a brief description of the EBR-II plant and its early operating experience, describes some recent problems of interest to the nuclear community, and also mentions some of the significant operating achievements of EBR-II. Finally, a few words and speculations on EBR-II's future are offered. 4 figs., 1 tab.
