Radiochemistry for the rupture of Zircaloy-2 clad heavy-walled tubular fuel element in KER Loop-3
On the 0000 -- 0800 shift, December 9, 1960, the delayed neutron monitor on KER Loop 3 gave a high coolant activity signal indicating a possible fuel element failure in this loop. KE Reactor was shut down immediately thereafter. This report is being written to summarize the events pertinent to this KE Reactor scram and to discuss the results and significance of data from analyses on coolant and coupon samples taken from the KER Loop 3 system.
