OPTD: Out-of-Pile Transient Database
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
The DOE Advanced Reactor Technology program has supported knowledge preservation efforts to recover and preserve fuel data from the US sodium cooled fast reactor (SFR) program. Efforts have focused on establishing databases of experimental data generated during the Integral Fast Reactor program (at EBR-II, FFTF, and TREAT) as well as during related out-of-pile examinations of the fuel irradiated at EBR-II. The information in these databases is essential to support further development and licensing activities for advanced fast reactor designs. OPTD, a newly-created database of out-of-pile furnace transient tests on metallic fuel, includes records of 62 tests on irradiated fuel pins conducted in furnace apparatuses constructed in the Alpha-Gamma Hot Cell Facility at ANL. Record discovery is ongoing, and at present, the database includes hundreds of documents describing these tests and related results. Access is currently available to Department of Energy researchers and can be extended to members of industry and the public as the content is approved for distribution. This report describes the out-of-pile furnace testing program, the content available in the database, and the structure of the web-accessible interface.
