The Brookhaven Medical Research Reactor was a 5 mega-watt, light-water cooled and heavygraphite moderated research facility. It has two shutter-equipped treatment rooms, three horizontally extended thimble tubes, and an ex-core broad beam facility. The three experimental thimbles, or activation ports, external to the reactor tank were designed for several uses, including the investigations on d...

Abstract Freeze lining is a solidified layer of slag formed on the inner side water-cooled pyrometallurgical reactor, which protects reactor walls from thermal, physical, and chemical attacks. Because freeze lining's high thermal resistance, heat losses strongly depend thickness. In batch process such as fuming, conditions change with time, affecting Determining thickness challenging it cannot ...

Pyroprocessing was originally developed for the recycling of the metal fuel from a fast reactor. It was noted that pyroprocessing can be modified by an oxide reduction process enabling treatment of spent nuclear fuels from a commercial light water reactor (LWR) which is in an oxide form. Pyroprocessing treatment can reduce the volume, radioactivity, and heat load of the LWR spent fuels [1]. In ...

Supercritical water-cooled reactor candidate materials are typically corrosion-resistant alloys whose mass changes in supercritical water fluctuate around zero. A previous interlaboratory corrosion experiment exercise revealed large scatter change results between laboratories. Here, we reduced systemic differences laboratories by unilateral preparation of coupons and chemical cleaning. Type 310...

The evolution of nuclear power is inseparably linked with the development breakthrough solutions in field economic new territories. A pressing issue this connection nowadays generation for remote and hard-to-reach areas decentralized supply. To resolve issue, JSC NIKIET developing a version SHELF-M modular water-cooled water-moderated reactor facility as source offshore installations, including...
