Description
Abstract:The object of the ACPR upgrade is to arrive at a reactor modification which will provide an increased pulsed neutron fluence in the irradiation cavity without an excessive degradation of the pulse duration. The upgraded reactor will also have an increased steady-state neutron flux. The initial approach to the upgrade modification involved a two-region core concept. Progress is reported for the following tasks: (1) safety, documentation, and compliance; (2) core nuclear design; (3) console development; (4) mechanical design; (5) fuel element design; (6) BeO--UO₂ fuel element fabrication; (7) secondary fuel material studies; (8) driver core fuel element; and (9) diagnostic system.
