Description and Analysis of the Sandia Pulse Reactor-IV (SPR-IV)
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This report presents a description and analysis of the Sandia Pulse Reactor-IV (SPR-IV), an all metal, fast burst reactor, designed by Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. The reactor will have a large central irradition cavity, 34 cm diameter by 51 cm high, for the exposure of electronic and nuclear components to hard-spectrum pulsed neutron fluences as high as 5.6E+14 nvt. The methods, models, and results of the nuclear, thermomechanical and heat transfer design are given. Operating characteristics of the reactor as well as the reactivity worth of the control elements and some typical experiment materials are also included.
