HFIR Dissolution Nuclear Criticality Analysis Information
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States)
The purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate the safety of High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) dissolution from a criticality safety perspective and to establish any Criticality Safety Limits (CSLs) that may be necessary. HFIR fuel consists of two annular elements that are designed to be nested together with a beryllium reflector in the reactor configuration. HFIR cores are currently stored in L-Area as separate inner elements and outer elements, each on a unique aluminum carrier. HFIR elements will be shipped to H-Canyon in the 70-ton Cask Railcar and loaded into the dissolver with the HFIR insert installed. The HFIR insert consists of a small well for the inner fuel element and a large well for the outer fuel element.
