“…This is a conservative assumption given the low fuel temperature and the fact that not all the fission gases would move out of the fuel. Because of the low temperature, any release of other fission products, including the semivolatiles, such as strontium, would be negligible (Cordes 1968;Hilliard 1959;Thompson 1964). …”

Five areas of potential accidents have been evaluated for the Argonaut-UTR reactors. They are:• insertion of excess reactivity • catastrophic rearrangement of the core • explosive chemical reaction • graphite fire • fuel-handling accident.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
