The need for the first core for EBR-II resulted in the design and construction of the Initial Fuel Loading Facility for this reactor. The plant was built to provide the required initial loading, to train personnel, and to test prototype equipment for the remote reprocessing of fuel materials in the EBR- II Fuel Cycle Facility. The facilities include: remotely manipulated melting, casting, and pin processing equipment, a degreaser, hoods and their atmospheric control system, a gas-purification system, fuel-element-assembly equipment, mold- preparation and balance room, bonding furnaces, a maintenance shop, and a change area.
EBR-II (Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 2) was originally designed and operated by ANL as a demonstration of a fast breeder central station reactor. After successful demonstration of this goal, including a "quick turn-around" fuel cycle, the reactor was converted into an irradiation test facility. Numerous types of irradiation sub-assemblies were designed and constructed. In addition, two types of experimental facilities will serve to provide instrument read-out data during the life of the experiments, while the reactor is operating. The two types are "The Instrumented Subassembly System", and "The In-Core Instrument Test Facility". The study shows that temperatures of 900°-1350°F could be attained during reactor operation. Temperatures above and below this range would cause heat transfer or stress problems. It is intended to make it possible to remove and insert individual tests without effecting the remaining instruments being tested.
