Thermal analysis of simulated pantex pit storage

摘要

This paper investigates potential pit storage configurations that could be used at the Mason and hanger Pantex Plant. The study utilizes data from a thermal test series performed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) that simulated these storage configurations. The heat ouput values used in the LINL test series do not represent actual pits but are rounded numbers that were chosen for coventience to allow parameter excursions.
