Control assembly development: Task 5-absorber studies, heating experiments, design studies. Annual report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6425190
The overall objectives of the Control Assembly Development Program consist of evaluations and analytical studies of reactor control materials in environments typical of fast reactors, and the testing of various materials, systems, and mockups in order to permit the design of reliable and effective control rods for full-scale LMFBR systems. The program encompasses measurements of heating rates and cooling requirements in control rods having typical geometrical arrangements of absorber pins, studies of the behavior of the absorber material as a result of irradiation in the reactor environment, and the analytical study and design of control rod systems.
