Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6921954· OSTI ID:6921954
The Safety Analysis Report (SAR) evaluates the use of H-451 graphite in future reload segments for the Fort St. Vrain (FSV) Nuclear Generating Station. It is proposed to replace the reference core H-327 graphite fuel and replaceable reflector elements with H-451 graphite elements as each segment is reloaded. The report presents the pertinent properties of the H-451 graphite material, the operational behavior of the H-451 graphite elements, and the effect on postulated accidents described in the FSV Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).
