Extraction of the elements with Tris-2-Ethylhexyl- and Trihexylphosphine oxides from Acidic Solutions

Description: This technical report is the second of a series which concerns the separation of ions by solvent extraction with trialkyl phosphine oxides (TOPO). This investigation has consisted in the extraction of various ions from acidic solutions with extractants that are representative of these ore specific phosphine oxides - triphenylphosphine oxide (THPO) and tris-2-ethylhexylphosihine oxides (TEHPO). In general it is observed that: (a) the order of increasing capacity of extraction is THPO > TOPO >TEH… more

Fuel Costs in Batch- and Continually-Processed Homogeneous Reactors

Description: The fuel requirement of a heavy-water moderated, homogenous, power reactor were estimated for a variety of initial loadings, for both bath and continuous methods of fuel removal. This study considered a 12-ft spherical reactor, temperature 250 C, 500 Mw thermal power, 125 Mw electrical power capability, 0.8 load factor, and 4%/year inventory charges for U and D2O. The fuel shipping-and-processing charges were assumed to be $1/gm of fissionable fuel for the "batch" processed reactors, and $0.37/… more

High Pressure Flange Studies

Description: Twenty-five hundred psi ring-type flanges, ring gaskets, bolts, and special connectors were tested for adaptability to the aqueous homogenous reactor. High pressure line closures were studied to obtain empirical data pertinent to the selection or design of a connector capable of withstanding sustained thermal cycling and high pressures encountered in the aqueous homogenous reactor. Specialized stress-strain measurement techniques yielded information concerning flange deformation, ring type gask… more

High-Temperature Properties in Relation to Design

Description: The essential physical and mechanical properties of materials which enter into the design considerations of high-temperature systems have been outlined, and the relationship of these factors to the detailed design of structural members noted. Particular attention is given to the phenomenon of strain-cycling and relaxation, and several engineering devices wherein these effects can markedly influence design are mentioned. Techniques and apparatus for the measurement of strain-cycling and relaxati… more

HRP Dynamic Slurry Corrosion Studies : Quarter Ending April 30, 1957

Description: The assembly of a second thorium oxide slurry corrosion test facility, loop BS, has been completed and 2010 hr of operation on slurry have been logged. This second test loop has proved satisfactory from an .operational standpoint. Corrosion data and operational observations are given for six thorium oxide slurry runs made at 300 C in 100A pump loops BS and CS. A new development model of the rotator for an in-pile slurry toroid is described.

HRT Letdown Valves

Description: To supply information about the several letdown valves which have been in HRT service, a typical valve plug examined by the Metallurgy Section confirms the belief that chemical attack on the Stellite #6 was occurring. It appears that most of the corrosion was due to rinse solutions, since this phenomenon has not been noted on letdown valves in the HRT Mockup where over 90% of the operating time has been with UO2SO4 solutions.

The HRT Refrigerating System

Description: The HRT refrigeration system was designed to use Freon-11 (CCI3F) as the refrigerant material in the secondary loop. A Van de Graaff irradiation of this material indicated that serious corrosion problems were probable if Freon were used in the proposed metal system. A survey was made of candidate refrigerants, and Amsco 125-82 and triethyl phosphate were selected for irradiation and physical-property determinations.

HRT Source Shield Calculations

Description: Calculations indicate that the proposed shielding arrangement will give a dose rate at the surface of the water tank of about 100 mrem per hr., practically all gammas. This is adequate for transportation and handling, but if the radiation actually proves to be this high, a storage location isolated from normal working areas must be provided. The isolation area need not be large, however, since the calculated dose rate at 10 feet from the shielded sources is only 3.5 mrem pr hr. For the short ti… more

HRT Temperature Measurement System - Issue No. 3

Description: The following temperature measurement tabulation consists of two parts. Part I lists all HRT thermocouples, their location, the junction box thru which the leads pass, and their termination, if on an instrument. Part II lists all temperature read out instruments and their location. A total of 577 thermocouples are listed in this tabulation. The roughly 77,000 ft of wire used in connecting them up cost $6,799. Temperatures are read on 24 instruments. Cost of these was approximately $15,688. Acce… more

In-Pile Slurry Loop Program

Description: The in-plie slurry loop work is now being considered as a joint program between the PAR project and ORNL. It is proposed that PAR design, fabricate and test the in-pile loops and that ORNL operate the loops in-pile, dismantle the loops after irradiation and made the appropriate measurements to determine the radiation effects. This report gives the objects of the slurry in-pile program and outlines the facilities and operations required to execute ORNL's part of this program.

In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies II : Autoclave Z-19

Description: In order to test the effect of chromate ion on the corrosion of Zircaloy-2 a 0.04 m uranyl sulfate solution (enriched) containing added acid, copper sulfate and 557 ppm Cr (VI) was autoclaved with rocking at 280 C for about eight days in the HB-5 facility of the LITR. The average corrosion rate established by the a rate of consumption of oxygen was 9.9 mpy at a power density of 4.9 w/ml. It is indicated by comparison with a previous corrosion study under LITR radiation that the presence of Cr (… more

In-Reactor Autoclave Corrosion Studies : LITR I. Outline of Methods and Procedures

Description: During the development of in-reactor corrosion experiments three types of bomb designs have been developed for following quantitatively the consumption of oxygen in a bomb which is fabricated from the particular metal under test. The bombs are designed so as to be rocked continuously during their in-reactor exposure, consequently agitating the uranium salt solution contained in the bomb and permitting gentle movement of the solution past metal specimens and other corroding surfaces. The oxygen … more

Inert Atmospheres in Non-Vacuum Chambers for Welding Applications

Description: In the HRP Welding program, a major part of the welding and fabrication, and some of the testing, is performed using an inert atmosphere. the use of the inert gas consumable arc welding process and dry box welding or other work in a dry box comes within this category. Since much of the work in the project make use of, or requires, inert atmospheres, a general discussion follows of the methods used, description of equipment, processes, quality of atmospheres, purity requirements, kinetics of met… more

Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Uranium and Plutonium from Hydrochloric Acid Solution with TRI (Iso-Octyl) Amine. Separation of Uranium and Plutonium from Thorium and Fission Products

Description: A new and rapid method for the liquid-liquid extraction of uranium and plutonium from hydrochloric acid solution is based on the use of tri(iso-octyl)amine dissolved in xylene or methylisobutylketone. Uranium and/or plutonium are separated from thorium, alkalis, alkaline earths, rare earths, zirconium, niobium, ruthenium and other elements which do not form anionic species under the conditions described. The technique may be used for either tracer or macro quantities of uranium. Several practic… more
