PTR CRITICAL EXPERIMENT--HAZARD SUMMARY REPORT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4111249
Authorization and approval are requested to use the facilities of the IRL Reactor to perform the Pressure Tube Reactor (PTR) critical experiment. The design and scope of the PTR critical experiment are described, and potential hazards are discussed. The PTR consists of 3.51-in.diameter cylindrical fuel elements located on a 37/8 in. triangular pitch. The experiment would be performed by replacing the IRL core with a PTR core and utilizing the existing IRL control drive mechanisms, control system, and monitoring system. The core materials and core size for the PTR are typical of a pool type research reactor. (W.D.M.)
