Experimental Breeder Reactor-Ii (Ebr-Ii) Shield Design

Abstract

A description of the EBR-II shield and the methods employed in arriving at the final design are presented. The major shield design problems for that reactor are enumerated and discussed.

Core and shielding analysis of the SCM-100.

“…Work by S.A. Kamal [3], and by Grotenhuis, McArthy, and Rossin [4] was examined for insights and key concerns.…”

“…For FFTF and CRBR, the main concern was ensuring 10% residual ductility for permanent components (some FFTF components were designed to 5%). It is pointed out in [4] that the austenitic steels used in liquid metal cooled reactors have high initial ductilities. The integrated neutron doses required to achieve embrittlement saturation are not reached at reactor vessel locations over the lifetime of a liquid-metal-cooled system.…”
