PLUTONIUM RECYCLE TEST REACTOR PRIMARY COOLANT PUMPS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4674069
The Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor primary coolant pumps use face type mechanical shaft seals and incorporate a large flywheel for emergency ilow during power outages. The test and development work preceding and during initial PRTR operation revealed several major problems. These problems and their solutions are discussed. Mechanical seal life was extended from original rapid failures in a few hours to periods of several thousand hours. (auth)
