Fast Breeder Blanket Facility. Quarterly progress report, April 1, 1978--June 30, 1978
- ed.
The work performed in the reporting period was primarily concerned with the initial measurements and checkout of the Purdue Fast Breeder Blanket Facility (TASK C). The safety calculations for the ''as built'' are also presented and compared with the initial safety calculations (TASK B). Safety calculations on the FBBR facility have been completed for a variety of new flooded-dry combinations. Specifically the effect of adding boron carbide to the transformer regions was investigated. The investigation showed the stabilizing effect of the boron carbide in the flooded cases while the effect in the dry cases is minimal. Measurements of the k/sub eff/ of the FBBF facility, of the effectiveness of the shielding, and of the radiation levels in the rooms surrounding the laboratory have been completed and compare well with the calculations presented in the license application.
