Abstract

This Engineering Calculations Analysis Report (ECAR) documents the results of the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) detailed physics analyses performed to calculate the displacements per atom (DPA) and the fast neutron fluence (E > 0.1 MeV) of the Advanced Graphite Creep (AGC) experiment, AGC-4, irradiated in the ATR East Flux Trap (EFT) (see Figure 1) during ATR Cycle 157D, 158A, 162A, 162B, 164A, 164B, 166A, and Cycle 166B. This ECAR also reports the neutron and photon heat rates for the materials of the AGC-4 experiment for ATR Cycle 158A (timestep 19), which provides to the maximum heating. The results for these evaluations and analysis are reported herein. The AGC-4 as-run specimen neutron fast fluence (E > 0.1 MeV), DPA, and material heat rate calculations were performed using a general-purpose Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code. All calculated results are tabulated herein.

As-Run Thermal Analysis for the AGC-4 Experiment Irradiated in the ATR

Program Document Brookman, Jason

The Advanced Graphite Capsule (AGC) irradiation experiment will provide irradiation creep rate data for the new graphite proposed for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) program. The fourth experiment in the series (AGC-4) was designed to irradiate various types of graphite specimens at a temperature of 900 ºC and targeted displacements per atom (DPA) of 6. This experiment has been irradiated in the east flux trap of the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) during the cycles of 157D, 158A, 162A, 162B, 164A, 164B, 166A, and 166B. Temperatures were monitored using twelve thermocouples (TC) located at various elevations in the reactor core,more »« less

AGC-4 Disassembly Report

Program Document Winston, Philip

The Advanced Reactor Terminology Graphite Research and Development program is currently measuring irradiated material property changes in several grades of nuclear graphite to predict behavior and operating performance within the core of these new high temperature reactor designs. The Advanced Graphite Creep (AGC) experiment, consisting of six irradiation capsules, will generate the irradiated graphite performance data for the Very High Temperature Reactor operating conditions. All six capsules in the experiment conducted at Idaho National Laboratory will be irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor, disassembled in the Hot Fuel Examination Facility, and examined at the Idaho National Laboratory Research Center.

AGC-4 Experiment Irradiation Monitoring Data Qualification Final Report

Program Document Plummer, Mitchell; T Pham, Cam

The Graphite Technology Development Program ran a series of six experiments to quantify the effects of irradiation on nuclear grade graphite. This report focuses on the fourth experiment, Advanced Graphite Creep 4 (AGC 4). The Advanced Reactor Development (ARD) Technology Development Office (TDO) Program for research and development activities require documentation of qualified monitoring data to design and license the first high-temperature reactor nuclear plant. Qualified data meets the requirements for use as described in the experiment planning and quality assurance documents. Failed data do not meet the requirements and provide no useable information. Trend data may not meet allmore »« less
