LOFT calibration tube thermal expansion analysis

Creators

Description

This analysis is in response to a request to determine the maximum relative linear displacement of the lower end of the calibration tube towards the bottom of the guide tube that can occur during any operating mode of the LOFT reactor. It was found that the worst case occurs during nuclear test L2-4 with a maximum displacement of 0.78 inches at 40 seconds. This is a conservative value and no factors should be applied for analysis uncertainties
