Abstract

This patent describes a radiation detection apparatus for a FTIR spectrometer which is capable to receiving liquid coolant. It comprises: a detector having inner and outer vessels connected together to define a dewar, the inner vessel adapted to contain liquid coolant, the detector having a fill port extending from an outer surface of the detector to the interior of the inner vessel by which liquid coolant can be introduced in the inner vessel; a liquid coolant inlet port including a funnel having a top opening and extending to a bottom; a gas discharge prot including a funnel co-axial with, surrounding and spaced outwardly from the funnel of the liquid inlet port and extending from a top opening at substantially the same level as the top opening of the inlet port funnel to a bottom; a liquid delivery tube extending from the bottom of the inlet port funnel and into the inner vessel of the detector to deliver liquid coolant from the inlet port funnel to the interior of the inner vessel of the detector; a gas discharge tube co-axial with the spaced outwardly from the delivery tube and extending from connection with the detector at the fill port of themore »« less

REACTOR REFUELING - INTERIM DECAY STORAGE (FFTF)

Technical Report NR, MCFADDEN ; RP, OMBERG

The IDS facility is located between the CLEM rails and within the FFTF containment building. It is located in a rectangular steel-lined concrete cell which lies entirely below the 550 ft floor level with the top flush with the 550 ft floor level. The BLTC rails within containment traverse the IDS cover (H-4-38001). The facility consists of a rotatable storage basket submerged in liquid sodium which is contained in a stainless steel tank. The storage positions within the basket are arranged so that it is not physically possible to achieve a critical array. The primary vessel is enclosed in amore »« less

Nuclear reactor having double tube helical coil heat exchanger

Patent Garabedian, G ; De Luca, R A

A method for removing decay heat in a nuclear power plant is described comprising a nuclear reactor having a circulating liquid metal cooling system, which cooling system includes at least one heat exchanger comprising a vessel having a closed lower end. The cylindrical vessel is closed at its upper end by a closure plate having feedwater inlet nozzles and steam outlet nozzles. Each double tube helical coil is comprised of 1-20 double tube bundles. The inner rubes are attached at one end to a feedwater inlet and attached at the other end to a steam outlet nozzle. The outer tubesmore »« less
Heated junction thermocouple level measurement apparatus

Patent Bevilacqua, F ; Burger, J M

A liquid level sensing apparatus senses the level of liquid surrounding the apparatus. A plurality of axially spaced sensors are enclosed in a separator tube. The separator tube tends to collapse the level of a two-phase fluid within the separator tube into essentially a liquid phase and a gaseous phase where the collapsed level bears a relationship to the coolant inventory outside the separator tube. The level of the liquid phase is sensed by level sensing apparatus. The separator tube contains inlet-outlet ports near the top and bottom thereof to equalize the liquid level inside and outside the separator tubemore »« less
Exhaust cooling system for internal combustion engine

Patent Brigham, W D ; Nguyen, D

A compact exhaust cooling system is described for an internal combustion engine consisting of: an exhaust manifold adapted to be mounted to the engine block of an internal combustion engine for receiving hot exhaust gases therefrom, the manifold having an integral manifold cooling jacket including coolant inlet means and a manifold outlet including one or more coolant discharge ports adjacent a gas discharge port; a duct terminating in a gas distribution header, the duct and header being double walled so as to define a continuous cooling jacket fully enveloping both the duct and header, the duct having an inlet end,more »« less
