Savannah River Laboratory

I am a physicist who switched to nuclear engineering for my Ph D. My introduction to PSA was as an original participant in the Reactor Safety Study in 1972. Material for this book was first gathered in 1974 for a workshop on what to expect in WASH-1400 (the results of the Reactor Safety Study). Materials were gathered over the years for EPRI, Savannah River Laboratory, and other workshops. A culmination was in 1988 with "Probabilistic Risk Assessment in the Nuclear Power Industry" with Robert Hall as coauthor. This book updates these materials and adds material on PSA in the chemical process industry. I prepared the material for printing using a word processor...

The facilities at Savannah River(j)) consist of five heavy-water-moderated and cooled production reactors, two chemical separations areas as a heavy water extraction plant, several test reactors, reactor fuel and target processing facilities, the Savannah River Laboratory, and many other facilities necessary to support the operations. During the 1960 s, two of the... 

Effects of ribs or spacers. A spacer rib test was conducted by the Savannah River Laboratory (Mirshak and Towell, 1961). The results show that critical heat flux reduction due to contact of a longitudinal spacer rib can be as much as 32%.
