ABWR QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT, JANUARY 1 TO MARCH 31, 1960. VOLUME I. SL- 1 OPERATIONS AND EVALUATION . VOLUME II. SL-1 HEALTH PHYSICS AND SAFETY
The Stationary Low Power Reactor No. 1 is a three Mw boiling water reactor designed to demonstrate the feasibility of a nuclear reactor to supply electrical power and space heat for remote sites. In addition to performance evaluation the facility provides training for military personnel. The reactor was operated for 1159 hr during the quarter for a total core burnup of 20.3%. Power generation was 103.7 Mwd for a total power accumulation of 466.9 Mwd. Eight malfunctions occurred during the quarter for a total unscheduled downtime of 40 hr 44 min, As a result of malfunctions, aluminum keys will be installed on the control rod drives, instrument well covers were removed, and an order has been placed for a station auxiliaries breaker with a higher temperature rating. Data were taken on seven tests during the quarter. Four of these are expected to be completed during the next quarter. All equipment items on order for the SL-1 power extrapolation expansion program are scheduled to be delivered before June 15, 1960. Although condenser dampers and damper controls, process instrumentation, equipment cabinets, and the radiation monitoring equipment have not yet been ordered, construction will not be delayed. The two tie-ins to the existing reactor piping which were required have been made. The engineering and decontamination buildings are nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy in early May. An SL-l operational cost analysis for March of electrical power generated, based on military personnel only, indicated a mil rate of 107. (auth)
