Abstract

Adding additional flow testing facilities has been considered as part of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) Sustaining and Enhancing Neutron Science (SENSe) Initiative at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to support HFIR operations and experiments. This prospect has prompted many ideas and discussions regarding potential features, configurations, locations, and applications for the facilities. A working group of ORNL staff members was formed in fiscal year 2022 to recommend one or more configurations to best support future HFIR operations and scientific capacities and to develop order-of magnitude cost estimates and timing. The ideas discussed in this report include options ranging from upgrading existing small-scale testing facilities to building a full-scale HFIR mockup for detailed thermohydraulic testing and fuel assessment.
