Design criteria: Bauxite-sulfuric acid feed facilities 100-K Area

Description: These criteria delineate objective, bases, and functional requirements governing preparation of design of the bauxite-sulfuric acid feed facilities installed in the 183-KE and KW Buildings. These facilities produces the chemical coagulant used in the treatment of Columbia River water in the K Area water plants and thus replaces the existing liquid alum feed systems used for this purpose.

Possible consequences of operation with KIVN fuel elements in K Zircaloy process tubes

Description: From considerations of the results of experimental simulations of non-axial placement of fuel elements in process tubes and in-reactor experience, it is concluded that the ultimate outcome of a charging error which results in operation with one or more unsupported fuel elements in a K Zircaloy-2 process tube would be multiple fuel failure and failure of the process tube. The outcome of the accident is determined by the speed with which the fuel failure is detected and the reactor is shut down. … more

Phase 3, B Plant operations

Description: The completion of Phase III construction in B Plant will provide facilities to meet certain common needs of departmental Waste Management and Fission Product programs. This is an estimate of the total and unit costs of operation in these facilities on a `goin concern` basis, recognizing full well the highly tentative nature of information available with respect to staffing, process rates, equipment, etc., approximately 3 to 4 years in advance of operations. It is planned that this document serv… more

Production Test IP-601-D: Evaluation of crud-forming characteristics of KER loop coolant containing NH{sub 4}OH for pH control

Description: The objective of production test detailed in this report was to characterize the effects of NH{sub 4}OH as a pH control agent in a recirculating, high temperature and pressure water system having NPR characteristics. Of particular interest is the crud forming and decomposition characteristics of NH{sub 4}OH at potential NPR conditions.

A review of the philosophy and future use of the Ball-3X system in the IPD reactors

Description: Distortion of the graphite stacks of the Hanford IPD reactors due to neutron irradiation effects has grown to where major corrective or compensatory action must be taken to preserve the operability of the safety control systems and life of the reactors. For the past few years, the line has been satisfactorily held by an aggressive maintenance program and short-range solutions. However, longer range, more permanent solutions are needed and high priority is being given to studies toward these end… more

Unusual incident report No. 25 crossheader damage

Description: The DR Reactor was shut down on July 10, 1963, for a scheduled charge-discharge outage. During the charge-discharge operation on July 11, 1963, the front work platform was being lowered to a new location for charging when the far side charging machine mounting rail came in contact with the 2 1/2 inch drain valve stem on front crossheader No. 25. Before the platform travel could be stopped, the drain valve and the related 2 1/2 inch piping was twisted down transmitting sufficient force to the cr… more

DR ball 3X drop: Operation Physics report

Description: An accidental ball 3X trip occurred at DR Reactor on July 11, 1961. Startup was attempted on July 21, 1961, subsequent to the ball recovery operations, at which time a large reactivity loss was apparent. The loss was assigned to inaccessible poison balls remaining within the graphite structure. Enriched uranium (0.947% U{sup 235}) columns were charged during successive outages to immediately recover the minimum excess reactivity required for operational transients and effective control. The lar… more

A SPARK-GAP TRIGGER SYSTEM

Description: The construction and operation of a trigger system designed to fire a 30-kV 5000 A spark gap with a minimum delay following the arrival of a small signal pulse is described. In this particular experiment a 150-MeV/c muon is detected with scintillators on three 6199 phototubes, and the output pulse of the attached tunnel-diode triple-coincidence circuit is amplified and used to trigger the gap. Approximately 32 nanoseconds are needed from passage of the muon to the coincidence output, and approx… more
