ESA 27 NRAD In-core Irradiation of up to 20 TRISO Kernels

Program Document ·
OSTI ID:1805690

NRAD Experimental Safety Analysis (ESA) 27 provides the technical basis for performing the re-irradiation of previously irradiated AGR Tristructural-Isotropic (TRISO) particles in NRAD. The re-irradiation is necessary to study the possible release of I-131 from TRISO fuel during accident conditions. This document fulfills the analysis requirements of NRAD OI 5003, “Experimenter’s Guide,” for performing in core irradiation experiments. Per NRAD OI 5003 and Section 3.7 of SAR 406, the following criteria must be included:
