Description
The nuclear materials production reactors at the Savannah River Plant (SRP) were designed and built in the 1950's and have operated successfully since that time. Unlike commercial power reactors, the production reactors are moderated and cooled by heavy water and are operated at moderately low temperatures and internal pressures. In addition, the entire primary coolant pressure boundary is constructed of Type 304 stainless steel or its cast equivalent, CF-8, except for seals, gaskets and other serviceable parts. This paper presents the leak-before-break demonstration of the SRP primary coolant piping
