HEAVY WATER MODERATED POWER REACTORS PROGRESS REPORT, APRIL 1960
Safeguards analyses of the isolated coolant Icops of the HWCTR indicated that accidental loss of ccoling water from the Icop heat exchangers will not lead tc vaper binding of the Icop D/sub 2/O pumps, or to other detrimertal consequences, providing that the reactor is scrammed following the loss of coolant. Several static seals of the types that will be used in the HWCTR exhinited leakage rates that were well below design specifications during cyclic tests at peak conditions of 1500 psi and 260 deg C. From full-scale experiments with lattices of seven-rod clusters of natural uranium metal at various lattice spacings in D/sub 2/0, values for the bucklings, flux distributions, and microscopic parameters of the lattices were measured.
