Boron stainless steel for drop rods

Description: From introduction: "The present investigation of the properties of boron stainless steel is an outgrowth of a project started in 1947. The problem is to replace the present steel used for drop rods in the Hanford piles with a material much less subject to corrosive attack from the humid atmosphere existing at the location of the rods."

Hanford Test Pile

Description: The Hanford Test Pile is a heterogeneous, low power, graphite moderated natural uranium pile. The pile consists of an eighteen foot cube of graphite containing 292 charged channels in a square array with an 8-1/2-inch lattice spacing. This report describes the reactor and the operating procedures used, and presents the latest results of calibrations performed. These calibrations supersede other work which has been done on the Test Pile and contain refinements of most of the early calibrations.

Analysis of High Purity Water by Spectrochemistry

Description: When water is used as a coolant in any heat-producing process, the purity of the cooling water is of considerable importance, both from the standpoint of build-up of deposited solids inside the cooling tubes, and as an indication of corrosion of the tubes or any other materials with which the water comes in contact. The first problem has long been recognized, and is generally solved by pretreatment of the water. Efficient treatment can reduce the total solids content to less than 0.1 ppm, and t… more

Rear Face Monitoring by Television: Supplementary Report

Description: Supervision and coordination of shutdown work are often made difficult by lack of visual contact between the front face, rear face and control room. Examples of such conditions are: Removal of process tubes, where close co-separation between front and rear elevator crews is required; Locating freshly discharged slugs accidently lodged on discharge face obstructions where radiation levels are high and optical viewing equipment inadequate; Monitoring of the transfer of hot samples from a process… more

Radiobiological Studies of the Columbia River Through December, 1955

Description: Radiobiological studies were made to determine effects of radioactive effluents from the Hanford reactors upon the aquatic biota of the Columbia River and to evaluate related hazards. Data from studies completed between September, 1945, and December, 1955 are presented and interpreted. All forms of life were many times more radioactive than the water they inhabited. Some radioisotopes were much more readily accumulated than others in living organisms. Differences in the concentration of certain… more

Hypothesis Concerning Irradiation Embrittlement of Uranium

Description: In discussion with a number of people at HAPO, KAPL and ANL a hypothesis has been evolved which appears to fit available information concerning irradiation embrittlement of uranium as well as indicate a possible solution to the problem. The purpose of this memorandum is to expound the hypothesis as an aid to those working with the problem. Since it imbodies the ideas of many people, no claim to unique authorship is implied.

Experimental PRTR Moderator Flow Distribution Results

Description: The moderator fluid will be injected into the PRTR calandrin through injectors located between the shroud tubes and at the bottom of the calandrin. It is important that the size and arrangement of the injectors be such that complete mixing of the moderator will occur and prevent hot sports from forming in the moderator. Such hot spots could lead to undesired changes in the moderating characteristics due to boiling within the moderator. Also of importance is the requirement that the injector sho… more

Out-of-Reactor Tests on Pu-Al Type PRTR Elements for 1706-KER Testing

Description: The small amount of irradiation tenting experience on the plutonium-aluminum type elements planned for the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor (PRTR) has made such testing of great importance. The high temperature pressurized recirculating water 1706 KER facility is one possible place for conducting investigations of the irradiation behavior of this type fuel element. To obtain the maximum information from the in-reactor testing and to detect possible problems, out-of-reactor test both at room and … more

Heat Transfer Testing

Description: Several tests are being performed and others being planned to investigate the role of heat transfer in corrosion processes. These tests are measuring both corrosion rates of metals (Zr-2 and X-8001 aluminum) under heat transfer, and the temperature rise associated with the buildup of the corrosion product. A brief description of these tests is given in this report.
