Capabilities of the Annular Core Pulse Reactor for reactor safety experiments

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7252097
; ; ; ;

The pulse and steady state performance of the Annular Core Pulse Reactor (ACPR) is being improved to provide a facility for fast reactor safety experiments. A new two region core is being designed with a high-heat capacity fuel region around the central irradiation cavity and an outer region of uranium-zirconium hydride fuel. The new core is expected to operate with an initial period of 2 to 3 milliseconds and a cavity fluence that is 2 to 2.5 times greater than the current value.
