Description

An irradiation rig has been designed for operation in the swimming-pool type research reactor FRG-2, in which LWR fuel rods can be irradiated under PWR conditions (160 bar, 3200C). The circulating pump and the heat exchanger are integrated into the inpile section. The rig is equipped with a gamma-spectrometer to measure the circuit activity. A program to investigate the fission product release of perforated fuel rods under continuing operation is being prepared. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Fuer den Forschungsreaktor FRG-2 wurde eine Bestrahlungseinrichtung entwickelt, mit der LWR-Brennstaebe unter Druckwasserreaktorbedingungen (160 bar, 3200C) bestrahlt werden koennen. Kuehlmittelumwaelzpumpe und Waermetauscher sind in die Inpile-Strecke integriert. Die Anlage ist mit einem Gamma-Spektrometer zur kontinuierlichen Messung der Kreislaufaktivitaet ausgestattet. Ein Programm zur Untersuchung der Spaltproduktfreisetzung aus perforierten Brennstaeben bei Fortsetzung des Betriebes wird gegenwaertig vorbereitet. (orig.)
