PLASTIC-SASS--A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR STRESSES AND DEFLECTIONS IN A REACTOR SUBASSEMBLY UNDER THERMAL, HYDRAULIC, AND FUEL EXPANSION LOADS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4648192
PLASTlC-SASS, an ALTAC-3 computer program that determines stresses and deflections in a flat-plate, rectangular reactor subassembly is described. Elastic, plastic, and creep properties are used to calculate the results of temperature, pressure, and fuel expansion. Plate deflections increase or decrease local channel thicknesses and thus produce a hydraulic load which is a function of fuel plate deflection. (auth)
