LIFE OF HRE-3 CORE TANKS
ABS>Calculations have been made of the expected life of Zircaloy core tanks in the HRE-3 assuming 5 w/ml power density in the tank, considering possible cooling systems. If the inner surface film coefficient is l000 Btu/hr ft/sup 2/ deg F or better, a thick single-walled tank appears optimum. If the inner surface coefficient is only about 100, cooling of the core tank with either D20 or ThO/sub 2/ slurry appears desirable or even necessary. (auth)
