PRTR SINGLE TUBE PROTOTYPE MOCKUP (STPM) OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4071281
The Single Tube Prototype Mockup (STPM) was constructed as a water source at Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR) conditions of flow, pressure, and temperature, and to evaluate possible mechanical difficulties in a prototype vertical process tube charged with a suspended fuel element and hanger assembly. The Phase 1 2 1/2-in. carbon steel loop is designed for operation to maximum conditions of 2400 psig, 65O deg F, and 200-gpm flow. Phase II, the 14-in. carbon steel loop, was constructed for temporary use at PRTR maximum operating conditions of 1250 psi and 550 deg F, and primarily for testing primary pumps, 14- in. gate valves, and 8-in. check valves. Discussions are included of: heating and cooling; pressurization and level control; teat sections; pumps; operating characteristics of valves, heat exchangers, strainers, safety heads, and immersion heaters; and safety precautions for the STPM.
