Production Test IP-653-D: Irradiation service request HAPO 300, irradiation of a tungsten matrix UO{sub 2} cermet plate in the KW snout facility
Cemets are attractive as fuel for nuclear reactors because of their relatively high thermal conductivity and their apparent ability to withstand very high temperatures for prolonged periods of time. A number of cermet fuel specimens have been successfully irradiated at temperatures greater than 2000 C for periods of up to six weeks. Two cermet fuel plates described herein have successfully operated, in the snout facility, at {approximately}3000 C for four hours each. This continuation of the program for twelve more capsules is to investigate the diffusion characteristics of UO{sub 2} and fission products from the tungsten matrix and to studymore » -
Development Test IP-556-D, supplement A, irradiation service request HAPO-278 outgassing rate of tritium at high temperature
The nuclear heat generation rate in the first capsule irradiated was higher by a factor of two than was calculated. The original capsule was irradiated in a dry bore with cooling water in the annulus only. The new capsule will be irradiated in a water-cooled bore facility with additional cooling coils around the lithium containing tube. This will keep the inner capsule temperature below 150 C during the initial tritium buildup period prior to outgassing. This Supplement authorizes the irradiation of an additional capsule and the removal of the present facility and installation of a single tube general purpose facility.more »
