OSTI ID:21141201
As a result of several requests from reactor users, it was recently decided to install a new cadmium-lined in-core irradiation tube (CLICIT) in the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (OSTR). As the title implies, this paper will describe the complete sequence of this process, from the design, and design constraints through manufacture to the actual use of the tube. The design is such that it offers a significant degree of flexibility in use, while still strictly adhering to ALARA concepts. In order to keep costs down, the facility was designed, installed and commissioned by the Oregon State University TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) staff and fabricated locally. As this facility is relatively cheap (about $2,000), and will fit all non-conversion TRIGAs other reactor owners may be interested in copying the OSTR tube design. (author)
