MARVEL team shares lessons learned through microreactor development
On June 1 at the American Nuclear Society’s Annual Conference in Denver, Colo., a team from Idaho National Laboratory presented a session titled “Lessons Learned from MARVEL Reactor Fabrication.” The presentation highlighted challenges that arose as they moved from design to manufacturing and assembly, with a focus on reactor part fabrication, Stirling engine implementation, and reactivity control system development.

Volatilization of I34Cs from simulated high-level waste glass in a canister during several reheatings up to a maximum of 1000°C was examined. The results showed that the temperature dependence of the amount of 134Cs suspended in the air inside the canister could be divided into two categories. As the temperature was increased above 500°C, the amount of 134Cs suspended in the air inside the canister also increased. On the other hand, for temperatures <500°C, the amount of 134Cs suspended in the air inside the canister had an almost constant value after several reheatings up to a maximum of 1000°C. In this case, the air contamination by cesium-bearing material inside the canister is considered to be significant even at waste storage temperatures <500°C.
