Status of US/Japan collaborative program phase II HFIR target capsules
- Oak Ridge National Lab., TN (United States)
A complete description and details of the design, construction, and installation of capsules JP-9 through JP-16 has been previously reported. The capsules were installed in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) target July 20, 1990 for irradiation beginning with HFIR fuel cycle 289. The capsules were removed and stored in the reactor pool during HFIR cycle 292 (11/25/90 - 12/10/90) to provide room for required isotope production. They were reinstalled for HFIR cycle 293 for continued irradiation. Of these eight target capsules, JP-10, 11, 13, and 16 completed their scheduled number of cycles (11) and were removed from the reactor in September 1991. In addition, JP-14 was removed from the reactor at the end of cycle 310 (9/18/92) after 21 cycles. Three new capsules in this series, JP-20, 21, and 22, are currently being designed. These capsules were added to the program in order to complete the experimental matrix included in the JP-9 through JP-16 capsules. The new capsules will contain transmission electron microscope (TEM) disks and SS-3 flat tensile specimens at 300-600{degrees}C and will achieve doses of 8, 18 and 40 dpa, respectively. The preliminary experiment matrix is described in detail in a previous report.
