Gas-Cooled Fast Breeder Reactor. Quarterly progress report, February 1, 1978--April 30, 1978. [Core assembly; fuels and materials; thermohydraulics; kinetics; shielding; systems and components; safety]
Progress is summarized in the following tasks: development of GCFR fuel, blanket, and control assemblies; development of the pressure equalization system for GCFR fuel; out-of-pile loop facility test programs; fuels and materials development; fuel, blanket, and control rod analyses and development; nuclear analysis and reactor physics for GCFR core design; shielding requirements for the GCFR; reactor engineering to assess the thermal, hydraulic, and structural performance of the core and the core support structure; plant systems control; systems engineering; development of reactor components, including reactor vessel, control and locking mechanisms, fuel handling equipment, core support structure, shielding assemblies, main helium circulator, steam generator, circulator test facility, and auxiliary circulator; development of a helium circulator test facility; reactor safety, environment, and risk analyses, including planning and support of an in-pile and out-of-pile safety test program; nuclear island engineering design; and development of a reliability data bank.
