Assembly and Functional Test of NRAD Heated Instrumentation Rig
- Idaho National Lab. (INL), Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
This is a technical report (TEV-4296) which documents the configuration and materials of construction for a heated sensor test conducted in the NRAD reactor. It is being reviewed for external release so that operators of university reactors can evaluate whether this level of documentation will be acceptable for similar tests conducted in their reactors. The Objective section of this TEV is reproduced below. The purpose of this TEV is to document assembly and functional testing of a device which is designed to allow advanced sensors to be temporarily placed at the periphery of the NRAD reactor. While in this location, the operational characteristics of the sensors can be evaluated while they are exposed to a neutron flux. This device (or “rig”) consists of a cartridge heater surrounded by six guide tubes, which are in turn surrounded by insulation and an aluminum dry tube. The heater allows for the sensors to be tested while at elevated temperature.
