Annular Core Research Reactor Pneumatic Transfer System Design
• Annular Core Research Reactor Background• Motivation for Pneumatic Transfer System (PTS)• PTS Design Requirements• PTS Components• Control System Concept Overview• Sequence of PTS Operations• Summary and Future Work
Outline
BackgroundAnnular Core Research Reactor (ACRR)
• TRIGA type reactor with special UO 2-BeO fuel
• Features– Central Cavity (9” ID)– Spectrum Modifying Inserts
• Pb-B4C Spectrum Modifying Insert (aka “Pb-B 4C Bucket”)– Thermal neutrons ↓↓↓↓, γγγγ ↓↓↓↓– 9” OD X 36” H– 5” ID
BackgroundACRR Primary Mission
• Provide appropriate neutron radiation environments for radiation testing and qualification of electron iccomponents and other devices, such as:– Passive neutron and/or gamma dosimetry devices (e.g .,
