Annular Core Research Reactor Pulse History Report: 2003-2017
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report documents and describes the tabulation and analysis of historical pulse operation data from the Annular Core Research Reactor (ACRR) at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). The pulse data was obtained from a combination of pulse log files generated at the control console and pulse diagnostics system data. The pulses presented were performed within the time period of April 2003 and December 2017. A brief analysis of the data is included to characterize the aggregate behavior of ACRR pulses with respect to theoretical treatments based on the point reactor kinetics model. It is expected that the data presented will provide an organized and consolidated resource to reference historical pulse data at the ACRR for use in analyses, verification and validation, and general understanding of the machine. A comprehensive set of data is presented to the reader in the appendices.
