The objective of this project is to retrofit the previously developed High Efficiency Advanced Coal Combustor (HEACC) to a standard gas/oil designed industrial boiler to assess the technical and economic viability of displacing premium fuels with microfine coal. During this reporting period, activities included completing the ``Task 3 Topical Report.`` The report is being reviewed internally by ...
ABB-Combustion Engineering (ABB-CE) has developed a new burnable absorber, erbia (Er{sub 2}O{sub 3}), for uniform application within pressurized water reactor (PWR) fuel pellets in 18- and 24-month fuel cycle designs. In PWR fuel, erbia exhibits the following features: (1) dilute absorber (moderate cross sections, low concentrations); (2) effective local ...

Due to the superior nuclear properties of {sup 233}U, thorium-based reactors are receiving increasing attention. Because of the relatively high neutron yield of {sup 233}U in the thermal range, the thorium-{sup 233}U fuel system has a higher conversion ratio in thermal reactors than {sup 238}U-based fuel systems. Moreover, the thorium-{sup 233}U system is advantageous in that it produces ...
ABB-Combustion Engineering Nuclear Power (ABB-CE) has developed a new burnable absorber, erbia (Er{sub 2}O{sub 3}), for uniform application within pressurized water reactor fuel pellets in 18- and 24-month cycle designs. Neutronics properties and performance are being assessed in a development program including critical experiments by ABB-CE and Southern ...
A task to develop material requirements and a materials testing strategy was established with the Materials and Water Chemistry Department of the ABB Power plant Laboratories. This involved examining the requirements for each system under ABB CE scope. The basis for the material recommendations was largely based on in-house test ...
Core reactivity and basic fuel management calculations were conducted on the selected reactors (with emphasis on the System 80 units as being the most desirable choice). Methods used were identical to those reported in the Evolutionary Reactor Report. From these calculations, the basic mission capability was assessed. The selected reactors were studied for modification, such as the addition of ...
As part of the U.S. effort to evaluate technologies offering solutions for the safe disposal or utilization of surplus nuclear materials, the fiscal year 1993 Energy and Water Appropriations legislation provided the Department of Energy (DOE) the necessary funds to conduct multi-phased studies to determine the technical feasibility of using reactor technologies for the triple ...

During the past quarter, Tasks 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were active. Data reduction continued for the characterization of raw coal samples collected from five mines located in the Powder Basin in support of the Northern States Power (NSP) King test site. Four flowsheet tests were performed at the CQDC with the Pratt and Utley coals as part of the coal cleanability characterizations being performed for ...

The project consists of four phases: (1) design, permitting, and test planning, (2) construction and start up, (3) demonstration and evaluation (1,000-hour demonstration), and (4) expanded demonstration and evaluation (installing a CWSF preparation circuit, performing baseline tests firing No. 6 fuel oil, and conducting additional CWSF testing). The boiler testing and evaluation will determine if ...
In 1995, some structural components of CE type fuel assembly which had previously imported from ABB-CE, have been manufactured at home as test products in course of procedure qualification test on the manufacturing processes of the components. Holddown pl...
ABB Combustion Engineering (ABB CE) and seven other companies have submitted a plan to the DOE for deploying a multipurpose reactor at the Savannah River Plant. The facility would consume excess plutonium as fuel, irradiate tritium producing targets, and generate electricity. The plan proposes to establish a consortium that would privately finance and own ...
