[en] This paper describes the unique and diverse test capabilities of the Power Burst Facility (PBF). The PBF test reactor, located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), simulates normal, off-normal, and accident operating conditions of light water reactor fuel rods. Capabilities of the PBF are illustrated by brief discussions of the types of tests performed at the facility. These include a wide range of experiments to help resolve key safety issues concerning light water reactors, assess computer models, and confirm adequacy of specific Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing regulations

[en] Control of the Oak Ridge Research Reactor Pool Side Facility (ORR-PSF) pressure vessel surveillance irradiation experiment temperature is implemented by digital computer control of electrical heaters under fixed cooling conditions. Cooling is accomplished with continuous flows of water in pipes between specimen sets and of helium-neon gas in the specimen set housings. Control laws are obtained from solutions of the discrete-time Riccati equation and are implemented with direct digital control of solid state relays in the electrical heater circuit. Power dissipated by the heaters is determined by variac settings and the percent of time that the solid state relays allow power to be supplied to the heaters. Control demands are updated every forty seconds
