PATHFINDER ATOMIC POWER PLANT. RECIRCULATION PIPING DESIGN
The coolant recirculation system in the Pathfinder reactor comprises three mixed-flow centrifugal pumps and three piping loops. The design criteria are summarized; and flexibility and stress analyses on the piping are presented, together with a vibration analysis of one pump and loop. The results indicate that vibration should be no problem, that all stresses are within the allowable limits, and that there should be no resonance difficulties during pump operation. (D.C.W.)
