Radionuclide Release from Aero-space Nuclear Reactor Fuels by J. L. Mackin,P. E. Zigman Pdf
The safety of in-core exposures of ROVER/NERVA fuel to pulsed neutron irradiation has been analyzed. Exposure in a dry environment of fuel specimens containing one gram of U-235 to a TRIGA Mark F power transient (following a three dollar step increase in reactivity) was examined. These examinations indicate that expected tem peratures, pressures and radiation levels are well within required safety limits. (Author).
