Pulsed Beam Heating Analysis of Curved Inconel Window with Pressurized Helium Gas Cooling

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is working with NorthStar medical Radioisotopes (NMR) on their efforts to produce Mo-99 through the irradiation of Mo-100 using Rodotron electron accelerators. Two Rhodotron accelerators are used to irradiate a double sided target. LANL collaborates with NMR to experimentally investigate beam effects on the target which consists of two Inconel 718 windows on either side of a stack of Mo-100 discs. LANL simulates the beam heating using an induction heater.

Niowave: Flow measurement development - FY2022

It is critical to maintain proper flow rate of lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) for the operation of the Niowave converter. The high temperature of the LBE (> 200 °C) makes it difficult to purchase simple off the shelf flow meters. One method that can be used to measure the flow rate indirectly, is to use a venturi, with a known throat diameter and differential pressure measurement across the throat. LANL designed the venturi and after numerous iterations with vendors, narrowed down a differential pressure transducer to use with the venturi.
