Design review of the High Flux Isotope Reactor
This report represents the results of an assessment of the design of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), operated by the Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. (MMES), located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The assessment was performed on behalf of the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety, and Health (ES and H) and was led by a senior member of the Office of Nuclear Safety. The report is addressed to the facility operating contractor. Thus, the report is written presuming an understanding of the facility processes, systems, and design. An executive summary is contained in Chapter 2 of the report. Chapter 3 is the general plant description. Chapters 4 through 16 contain the findings and recommendations in the areas of evaluation. Recommendations are also provided.
