Abstract

A supplement to the ML-1 Hazards Summary Report, No. IDO-28560, originally published in November 1960, is presented. The material in the Supplement amplifies and revises various sections of the original publication, in order to up-date it and to satisfy the requirements pertinent to power operation of the entire ML-1 plant. The text, with illustrations and graphs, is arranged in five sections and two appendixes: (1) a summary that includes an up-todate tabulation of power plant characteristics; (2) descriptions of significant changes to certain ML-1 componentsfuel element, leak-detection and refueling equipment, stainless steel uses, control blade locking mechanisms, and moderator deoxygenation; (3) operation of the plant with air as the coolant; (4) the Phase II Test Program under which the combined reactor and power-conversion packages will be operated; and (5) examples of detailed operating procedures for the test program. The appendixes contnin: (1) discussions of recommendations made by the U. S. AEC concerning ML-1 operations, and (2) a list of errata in the original report. (auth)

ARMY GAS-COOLED REACTOR SYSTEMS PROGRAM SEMIANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR JULY 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1959

Technical Report

The Army Gas Cooled Reactor System Program includes four projects: The Gas Cooled Reactor Experiment I (GCRE-I); the Gas Cooled Reactor Experiment Il (GCRE-II); the ML-1 (a mobile, low power nuclear power plant): and the Gas Turbine Test Facility (GTTF). Building and construction, reactor design and development, reactor instrumentation, and fuel element development and fabrication for GCRE-I are covered. Capsule loop tests and neutronics for GCRE- II are discussed. The auxiliaries, power conversion equipment, instrumentation and controls, and reactor engineering for ML-1 are detailed.

Army Gas-Cooled Reactors Systems Program. ML-1 radioactive effluent monitoring

Technical Report

The report describes the monitoring and sampling system included in the ML-1 installation at the National Reactor Testing Station in order to control atmospheric releases of radioactive effluents. A summary is included of the regulations governing release of radioactive effluents at the NRTS, with extracts from the AEC-IDO Manual dealing with accidents and exposures to radiation. The ML-1 monitoring and sampling system is described and the parameters influencing the sensitivity of monitoring devices are analyzed, together with anticipated problem areas. The derivation of analytical equations for the ML-1 monitoring system and sample calculations are presented, together with the computer programsmore » used for analysis of the system.« less
ARMY GAS-COOLED REACTOR SYSTEMS PROGRAM. Semiannual Progress Report, January 1 through June 30, 1962

Technical Report

Highlights of the work performed in connection with the Army Gas-Cooled Reactor Systems Program for the period January through June 1962 are discussed. The program includes the Gas-Cooled Reactor Experiment; the ML-1, a prototype mobile gas-cooled nuclear power plant; the ML1A; and an advanced systems project. The purpose of the program is to develop a mobile nuclear power plant suitable for military field use (the ML-1A). A core test facility was operated at the AEC's NRTS (the GCRE) to provide information for use in designing and developing the ML-1, a prototype power plant, now being tested at NRTS.
