Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) was a sodium-cooled fast reactor designed, built and operated by Argonne National Laboratory at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho. It was shut down in 1994. Custody of the reactor was transferred to Idaho National Laboratory after its founding in 2005.

EBR-II STORY began in spring 1944. Work at Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Hanford to design, build, and provide fissionable material for the first atomic bombs was shifting into high gear.

The Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) was shutdown in late 1994 after 30 years of successful operation. The detailed Safe Storage Work Plan describing the final condition of the EBR-II was implemented in October 2000.

2012年1月1日 · Experimental Breeder Reactor – II (EBR-II) metallic fuel was qualified for high burnup to approximately 10 atomic per cent. Subsequently, the electrometallurgical treatment of this fuel was demonstrated. Advanced metallic fuels are now investigated for increased performance, including ultra-high burnup and actinide burning.

The Experimental Breeder Reactor-2 (EBR-2) is a sodium cooled power reactor supplying about 20 MWe to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) grid and, in addition, is the key component in the development of the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR).

Based on the experience from the 1974 exploratory manual ultransonic examination, a mechanized ultrasonic test system was developed and built ction of the 2-1/4 Cr - 1 Ho steel duple EBR-II steam-generator system. Inspection required tube inspection from metric examination, wall-thicknes as tho aining artificial

2022年7月19日 · EBR-II was a sodium-cooled fast reactor operating at 69 MWth producing 19 MWe. Rather than using a loop approach for the coolant, EBR-II used a pool arrangement where the reactor...

2016年4月12日 · Throughout the historic Experimental Breeder Reactor‑II (EBR‑II) Shutdown Heat Removal Test series between 1984 and 1986, the precise, measured actions of nuclear scientists, engineers and operators deliberately induced the kind of accident conditions that would lead to catastrophe three weeks later, in a lesser reactor, on the opposite ...

1998年10月1日 · EBR-II is a 62.5 MW (th) liquid sodium cooled, pool type fast reactor which operated successfully as a power reactor and irradiation facility for almost 30 years. EBR-II is an inherently safe reactor, with both passive reactivity control …
