Book Description
The thermal transient behavior of the fuse component of a reactor safety device has been investigated in the KEWB I reactor. The fuse is a neutron flux sensor which, at excessive flux levels, will trip the safety device and cause reactor shutdown. Experimental results on the majority of reactor transients were in good ngreement with calculations. However, on the fastest transients, experimental results were obscured by spurious effects during those intervals when the radiation level was high. lt was not possible to demonstrate reactor shutdown with the safety devices because the inherent shutdown mechanism of the KEWB reactor was too efficient. The integrated neutron flux levels attained with the fastest traasients were insufficient to cause the fuse to trip starting from ambient temperatures. Nevertheless, those tests have shown that the fuse component design is adequate for the high power level reactors for which it is intended. A successful trial run was made to demonstrate fuse tripping on transient neutron flux by heating the fuse to about 20 deg C above ambient temperature prior to the beginning of the transient. (auth).
