TERMINATION REPORT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ART FACILITY
W. F. Ferguson, F. R. McQuilkin, G. C. Robinson, and R. D. Stulting
1. GENERAL
The ART facility, ORNL Building 7503, is a
modification of the facility used for the Aircraft
Reactor Experiment (ARE). Its purpose was to
house all equipment and appurtenances required
to install and operate a 60-megawatt reflector-
moderated circulating-fuel reactor whose basic
design is suitable for aircraft use. The facility
is located in Okra Valley approximately 0.75
mile southeast of the center of the present ORNL
area. Further information concerning the facility
and facility site can be found elsewhere. !
The program for design and construction of the
ART facility was subdivided into six packages,
Package |, consisting of additions to Building
7503, construction of the reactor cell, and in-
stallation of the required building services, was
designed by the K-25 Plant Engineering Division
and constructed by V., L. Nicholson Company,
Package A, consisting of installation of auxiliary
service pipe lines for nitrogen, air, cooling water,
helium, lubricating oil, and hydravlic oil, was
designed by the ORNL Engineering and Mechanical
Division and constructed by V. L. Nicholson
Company. Package Il, consisting of furnishing
and erecting a prefabricated steel building, in-
stallation of diesel generators and appurtenances,
installation of electrical motor control centers, and
installation of the electrical system and air
conditioning equipment for the spectrometer room,
was designed by the ORNL Engineering and
Mechanical Divisionand constructed by Rentenbach
Engineering Company. Package IlIA, consisting
of installation of dry air system, installation of
lube oil fill and waste system, installation of
NaK motor controllers and resistors, installation
of louver hydraulic system, and installation of a
prefabricated steel building, was designed by the
ORNL Engineering and Mechanical Division and
constructed by Rentenbach Engineering Company.
Package Ill, consisting of all work outside the
reactor cell required to complete the facility, was
being designed by the ORNL Engineering and
Mechanical Division and was to be installed by
ORNL craft personnel. Package |V, which in-
cluded all work inside the reactor cell, was being
IW- B. Cottrell et al., Aircraft Reactor Test Hazards
Summary Report, ORNL-1835 (Jan. 19, 1955) (classified).
designed by the Aircraft Reactor Engineering
Division (ARED). It was planned to have this
package installed by ORNL forces also.
Authorization of expenditures for the capital
portion of the facility installation program was
obtained through Budget Directive CL-169 dated
March 10, 1955, and Modifications 1, 2, 3, and 4
thereto dated September 7, 1955, October 21, 1955,
March 30, 1956, and December 26, 1956, re-
spectively, The basic directive (CL-169) author-
ized capital expenditures of $1,500,000 and con-
struction activity expenditures of $270,113. The
authorized construction activity expenditures
level was increased to $275,000 by Modification
No. 3. Meodification No. 4 established an author-
ized expenditure level as follows:
Activity $ 274,326
Capital 1,200,000
Tables A-1 and A-2, which are appended, show the
status of expenditures as of September 1957 as
auvthorized by Directive CL-169. Another modifi-
cation to Directive CL-169 had been requested,
which would have extended the completion date for
capital work from June 30, 1957, to June 30, 1958.
Lump-sum contract work at the facility was
performed under Atomic Energy Commission Con-
tracts AT-(40-1)-1952 and AT-(40-1)-1954, The
Y. L. Nicholson Company was prime contractor
under Contract AT-(40-1)-1952. The contract
consisted of all work specified by the Package |
and Package A drawings and specifications.
Contract AT-(40-1)-1954 included all work speci-
fied by the Package !l and Package I{IA drawings
and specifications. Rentenbach Engineering
Company was prime contractor for this contract,
Pertinent information pertaining to the afore-
mentioned contracts can be found in the Appendix,
Table A-3. A breakdown of contract cost and a
list of unit prices estimated from contract cost
can be found in Tables A-6, A-7, and A.8.
Approximately $82,000 worth of material was
procured for Package Ill and IV work. It was
planned to start installation of Package Il
items during the latter part of calendar year 1958,
Schedules (Table B-1), budget (Table A-4), man-
power estimates (Table B-2), and other infor-
mation pertaining to installation of Packages IlI
and |V are appended. Table A-5 shows our
present evaluation of the adequacy of the budget
figures which appear in the Appendix. Plans to
complete the facility were canceled during
September 1957. After cancellation, operational
costs were incurred only in connection with placing
the building in standby condition and canceling
outstanding facility purchase orders. No capital
expenses were incurred after July 1, 1957. Total
capital expenditures for fiscal years 1955, 1956,
and 1957 were $21,494, $760,051, and $342,108,
respectively, Total operational expenditures for
fiscal years 1956, 1957, and 1958 were approxi-
mately $438,000, $482,000, ond $123,000, re-

flowsheets.

above the radiator pit. The tank at the right is the drain tank for the radiator drain pans. The five vertical tanks are the main and ouxiliary NoK dump
tanks. The horizontal tank is the special NaK dump tank. The equipment structure to the left of the drain tank is the NaK purification system for the
main and auxiliary coolant system and consists of the cold traps, plug indicators, flowmeters, valves, and piping. The rack was to be revisedto omit the
plug indicators. In the ceiling of the radiator pit are the main and auxiliary NaK piping, with the flowmeters and the heat-barrier-door operators. This

2. BUILDING
Existing Building
The ART facility, Building 7503, is a modifi-
cation of a facility which was used for the Air-
craft Reactor Experiment (ARE). The ARE
facility consisted of a building 106 ft 6 in, by
82 ft 9 in. which is located at a site 0.75 mile
southeast of the center of the present ORNL
area and about 0,24 mile northeast of the homo-
geneous reactor (HRT) facility.
Further information concerning the facility site
can be found elsewhere,?
The ARE building and auxiliary services were
designed by the Austin Company, Engineers and
Builders, of Cleveland, Ohio. A list of pertinent
