ALLIS-CHALMERS CRITICAL FACILITY. Final Safeguards Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4182705
The A-C Critical Facility Reactor will be used as an aid in the nuclear design of the CRBR. The reactor is cylindrical, heterogeneous, unpressurized, and water moderated. The core is composed of two regions, a superheater mockup in the center surrounded by an annular boiler region mockup. The fuel elements in the superheater region will be of fully enriched UO/sup 2/--stainless steel cermet, clad with stainless steel. The fuel elements in the boiler region will be slightly enriched UO/sub 2/ clad with Al. The most severe credible accident was found to be the startup accident. (W.D.M.)
