EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS FOR THE ASTR-TSF EXPERIMENT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4310182
The modifications made to the Aircraft Shield Test Reactor (ASTR) and to its auxiliary equipment and new equipment fabricated specifically to meet the requirements of the experimental program at the Oak Ridge Tower Shielding Facility (TSF) are described. The experiments with the ASTR at the TSF entailed hoisting equipment to various heights up to 186 feet. For the experiments, extensive changes in the reactor shell, the reactor control system, the coolant and shield water system, and in ground support equipment were necessary. In addition, suspension systems for the reactor and crew compartment had to be devised and constructed. (auth)
