Air Scattering of Co60 Gamma Rays: Theory Versus Experiment

Description: For Co60 source at 15 meters, the air-scattered gamma dose rate predicted by theory is excerpted from ORNL-1575, pp. 167-203. This is compared with experimental measurements for the same source and comparable geometry reported by Convair in CVAC-170T. After applying an appropriate correction for ground scattering as estimated in Mart-55-16T (Convair), the two results are found to be in substantial agreement.

Disassembly and Postoperative Examination of the Aircraft Reactor Experiment

Description: The Aircraft Reactor Experiment (ARE)was successfully concluded in November of 1954, and a detailed report of the operation was published the following year. At that time it was thought that an extensive examination of the reactor and system components after disassembly was warranted. It was realized, of course, that the level of radioactivity of the components would necessitate extensive delays in the examinations. Since examination of a few critical ARE samples showed nothing unexpected, much… more

Experiments on the Release of Fission Products from Molten Reactor Fuels

Description: Experiments in the controlled melting of irradiated fuel specimens, particularly of the APPR, STR, and MTR types, have confirmed that prolonged heating in air at temperatures in excess of the melting point results in the release of a large portion of the radioactivity. On the other hand, a moderate amount of heating in air or steam sufficient only to melt a specimen results mainly in the partial volatilization of rare gases, iodine, bromine, cesium, and rubidium. In the presence of air or water… more

Instrumentation Flow Plan Symbols and Recommended Drawings : a Standard System for ORNL Instrumentation Applications Work

Description: This report is presented in order to provide a satisfactory system of symbols and identifications for process-instrumentation equipment and to promote a uniformity of practice that will simplify and expedite instrumentation work. It is intended that the systems presented here should be capable of designating and identifying the multitude of instrumentation items which are used for control and operation of conventional processes, as well as for specialized work peculiar to ORNL. Instrument Socie… more

Monex Process: Terminal Report

Description: Chemical and engineering data were obtained for the feed digestion system and the extraction-scrub step of the Monex tributyl phosphate solvent-extraction process for recovering thorium and uranium from nitric acid-digested unclarified monasite sludge. Tests of the recommended conditions in a 2-in.-dia pulsed column demonstrated that thorium losses were approximately 1.2% and uranium losses, 1.5%. The flowsheet is workable but is not necessarily optimum.

Two Group Calculations for Flux Distribution and Critical Mass in Clean Cold ORR Cores

Description: A series of two-group calculations has been made on the Oracle for the purpose of obtaining critical-mass and flux distribution data for various ORR core configurations. The 3G3R code of Bate, Einstein, and Kinney was used, together with the RSP code developed by Nelson. This made it possible to obtain results for the three-dimensional case. The results, which are presented graphically, are intended to serve as a guide for the design of experiments until such time as actual measurements are ava… more
