PREDICTED CORE PERFORMANCE FOR THE ARMY PACKAGE POWER REACTOR NO. 1
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4333206
The predictions of APPR-1 core performance at zero power and for its operating life are reported, with a description of tbe methods employed. The window shade model has been used to predict a temperature coefficient of -0.5 x 10/sup -4/ DELTA k/ deg F at 68 deg F and -3.2 x 10/sup -4/ DELTA / deg F at 450 deg F. The lifetime based on unifarm material burnup is calculated to be 12.1 MW-yr for a reactor with equilibrium xenon and samarium and 2% available reactivity. If non-uniform burnup effects are considered, the lifetime decreased to 9.1 MW-yr for the same conditions. (auth)
