Title: INTERMEDIATE HEAT EXCHANGER AND STEAM GENERATOR FINAL DESIGN. CHEMICAL AND STRESS ANALYSIS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4088935

Chemical and stress analyses were made of a sodium-tosodium intermediate heat exchanger and a sodium-to-water steam generator as an extension and modification to previous analyses. The chemical analysis covers the sodium cover- gas system and the effects of sodium water reactions in the event of a leak in the steam generator. The stress analysis was made of those thermal transients that would be physically possible with the intermediate heat exchanger and steam generator design. Attention was given to methods of operation that would minimize the magnitude and frequency of thermal shocks. A structural design basis is included for handling stress analysis of combined mechanical, hydrostatic, and thermal stresses. Conditions for using creep and stress rupture properties are given.
