P&ID
• Updates since last meeting• Thermal-Fluid on Secondary
Side• Have a dual cooling
plenum reservoir• Finalized on using SCR to
control power• Selected blow-down valve –

Heater Design
Heater Design
• Test heater-rod built and confirmed to meter out correctly.
• Cladding ID = 0.305 in• Cladding OD = 0.375 in

Questions for discussion
• TRTL bounds (known and present) pre-conceptual capabilities of TRTL.• What transients (RIAs) does the INL believe the TREAT can run• How do these tie into the experiment• What are the most impactful power ramp-rates for us to consider?• What are the most impactful fluid temperature conditions to consider?• What are the most impactful system pressure conditions to consider?
• Heater• What timelines are associated with AREVA’s ability to provide sleeves?• What are the limitations on dimensionality?
