i E ART FACILITY F. R. McQuilkin Construction work is nearing completion on the contract portion of the Aircraft Reactor Test (ART) facility in Building 7503. Package 1 work on the building additions, building alterations, and cell installation was approximately 7% behind schedule at the 92.5% completion point on June 1, 1956. About onehalf the deficiency may be accounted for by lack of breakers and reactors for the eiec- trical switchgear. During the quarter the principal work accomplished included final erection of the cell tanks; erection of the stack; placement of concrete for the main air duct, the penthouse, the radiator pit, the blower house floor and equipment bases, the cell encasement, and the main building floor at an elevation of 852 ft; painting; grading; fencing; and general job and site cleanup. Package 2 work on the installation of diesel generators and facility, electrical control centers, and spectrometer-room electrical and air-condition- ing equipment progressed to the 79% completion point during the quarter. The installation of the electrical control centers and the diesel generators will complete this work. The estimated date for shipment of the diesel generators is June 25,1956. The contract for Package A work on the installation of auxiliary piping was negotiated with the V. L. Nicholson Company . . at a contract price of $50,351.62, with completion scheduled for June 15, . 1956, unless material delivery schedules interfere. Some of the Package 1 and Package 2 work MY 1.5.

The cylinder bank in the left foreground, which served as helium storage for the Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE) will be used for storage of nitrogen for he ART. In the foreground, in front of the truck, may be seen the 1500-kva transformer and substation that will serve the purchased power (TVA) portion of the power service to the facility. The openings in the generator house, on the right, will receive the radiators for the five diesel generators that will have 300-kw continuous ratings and will supply the locally generated power service to the facility. In Fig. 1.5.3 may be seen the pressure vessel and water tank that make up the containment cell. The 24-ft-dia, 36-ft-high pressure vessel is within the 30-ft-dia water tank. The top portion of the water tank had been removed and was sitting on the main floor when the photograph was taken. Although the pressure vessel manhole is 5 ft in diameter and will pass most of the items to be installed within the vessel, the contractor will remove the top head to provide the required access for the reactor. The pressure vessel was field stress-relieved and hydrostatically tested at 300 psi during the quarter. Inspection of the welded joints between the 24-in.dia junction panel sleeves and the 4-in.-thick shell walls revealed a failure of a joint in the heataffected zone of the sleeve base metal. Therefore all eight of the one-piece sleeves were replaced with two-piece units and a revised joint design and welding procedure was used. The field stress- c ich is Q view from a relief procedure and the hydrostatic pressure tests B.l’ ion of the 10-ft-dia and and the generator house MY be Seen in Fig. 1.52.

This structure will house the NaK pumps, pump motors, and the mechanisms for supporting these units and the radiators, and will also house the NaK piping to the main air t and to the radiator pit below, The special ipment room is directly below und covered by e roof plugs shown in the open doorway. Design work continued on Package 3, which omprises the process equipment, process piping, etc. to be installed by ORNL. The design will probably be completed in July 1956. 69
