Summary
The work performed in the reporting period was primarily concerned with aspects of the pre-analysis and the corresponding safety investigations of the Fast Breeder Blanket Facility (FBBF). Progress on the loading of the first configuration, testing experimental equipment, and performing check-out tests is also summarized. It is necessary that a neutron poison (B/sub 4/C) be placed in the converter regions in order to hold the value of k/sub eff/ for a hypothetical flooded FBBF of future loadings below the licensed limit of 0.75. It appears that this limit on k/sub eff/ can be attained for all loadings if one of the 180/sup 0/ configurations consists of stainless steel double clad natural uranium rods. The safety of one of the most reactive configurations is investigated and the need for B/sub 4/C verified. In addition, the safety of other FBBF loadings is investigated.
