DESIGN DEVELOPMENT TESTS OF SOME COMPONENTS FOR THE 10 MWE SDR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4236581
A sodium leak from a fuel-coolant tube and a water leak from a calandria tube were deliberately induced to study the effect of these leaks on a barrier. A program directed at improving leak detection devices and developing better methods of leak detection is reported. Prototype fuel-coolant tube closure devices were experimentally evaluated at simulated reactor operating conditions to obtain useful design data. Devices to join the calandria tubes to the tube sheet while maintaining a gastight seal were experimentally evaluated. (W.L.H.)
