PLUTONIUM RECYCLE TEST REACTOR FINAL SAFE-GUARDS ANALYSIS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4219009
The Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR) is designed to obtain experimental data on plutonium fuel technology and plutonium fuel cycle physics, and to produce irradiated fuel for the development of plutonium fuel chemical processing. Its main purpose is to provide a pilot scale demonstration of the economics and practicability of various plutonium recycle fuel concepts. The reactor complex is described in detail, The operating procedures, which are designed to maintain a high degree of reactor safety, are described. Reactor safeguards aspects of possible equipment malfunctions and failures are analyzed. (auth)
