The HEU-fueled Kilowatt Reactor Using Stirling Technology (KRUSTY) serves as a basis for a similar reactor fueled with LEU fuel. Based on MCNP6™ neutronics performance estimates, the size of a 5 kWe reactor fueled with 19.75 wt% enriched uranium-10 wt% molybdenum alloy fuel is adjusted to match the excess reactivity of KRUSTY. Then, zirconium hydride moderator is added to the core in four different configurations (a homogeneous fuel/moderator mixture and spherical, disc, and helical fuel geometries) to reduce the mass of uranium required to produce the same excess reactivity, decreasing the size of the reactor. The lowest mass reactor with a given moderator represents a balance between the reflector thickness and core diameter needed to maintain the multiplication factor equal to 1.035, with a H/D ratio of 1.81.

The Project consisted of hydriding samples of Zr-2.5 Nb pressure tube materials used in CANDU-type and RBMK reactors, the measurement of delayed hydride cracking (DHC) rates under specified conditions, and analysis of hydrogen concentrations. The project was overseen by a supervisory group of experts in the field who provided advice and assistance to the participants as required. All of the research work undertaken as part of the CRP is described in this report, which includes a review of the state of the art in understanding crack propagation by DHC and details of the experimental procedures that produced the most consistent set of DHC rates reported in an international round-robin exercise to this date. All of the participants and many of their co-workers in the laboratories involved in the CRP contributed results and material used in the drafting of this report, which contains compilations of all of the results, their analysis, discussions of their interpretation and conclusions and recommendations for further work.

Zaki Validi, 32, 450076 Ufa, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-347-284-3527 i i Abstract: The activity and chemoselectivity of the Cp2ZrCl2-XAlBu 2 (X = H, Bu ) and [Cp2ZrH2]2- ClAlEt2 catalytic systems activated by (Ph3C)[B(C6F5)4] or B(C6F5)3 were studied in reactions with 1-hexene. The activation of the systems by B(C6F5)3 resulted in the selective formation of head- to-tail alkene dimers in up to 93% yields. NMR studies of the reactions of Zr complexes with organoaluminum compounds (OACs) and boron activators showed the formation of Zr,Zr- and Zr,Al-hydride intermediates, for which diffusion coefficients, hydrodynamic radii, and volumes were estimated using the diffusion ordered spectroscopy DOSY. Bis-zirconium hydride clusters of type x[Cp ZrH ·Cp ZrHCl·ClAlR ]·yRnAl(C F ) − were found to be the key intermediates of alkene 2 2 2 2 6 5 3 n dimerization, whereas cationic Zr,Al-hydrides led to the formation of oligomers.
