Subassembly bowing experience in EBR-II

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7279291
;

In-reactor bowing of subassemblies has caused some handling difficulties at EBR-II, the extent of the problem increasing with the subassembly stiffness. Analysis of four particular bowed subassemblies with respect to their core environment and structural design has indicated that residual bow is primarily the result of radiation-enhanced creep during irradiation.
