Preliminary survey, Reactor formation of rhenium-tungsten alloy

Description: This document considers the costs of rhenium formation as produced by irradiating tungsten. Two isotopic compositions of tungsten are considered for the study. The cost for reactor-formed rhenium appears to be prohibitively high -- over $20 per gram. This cost would exist for tungsten containing 90% 186, 9, 184, and 1% tungsten 182 and 183. The cost of alloy made fro natural isotopic compositions of tungsten would be higher by a factor of 3, and would take prohibitively long to produce signific… more

Production of tungsten-rhenium alloys in N-reactor

Description: This report contains the feasibility and cost data for the production of tungsten-rhenium alloys from tungsten targets in the N-Reactor. The two types of target elements assumed were: (a) tungsten containing 90 a/o tungsten-186, 9 a/o tungsten-184 and 1 a/o tungsten-183 and 182, and (b) tungsten of natural isotopic composition.

Long-term neutron activation products of nickel-58

Description: Certain advantages, such as higher strength at elevated temperature, have led to the use of alloys containing large percentages of nickel as a replacement for aluminum components. One example is the Inconel sheathing of control rods for the Hanford reactors. Since some of these components may remain in a reactor several years prior to removal, the neutron-activation products resulting from multiple chain reactions may become important in determining the radiation exposure levels at discharge.

Status of alloyed dingot program, January 1963

Description: This report summarizes and highlights the more importan milestones, development programs, performance and characteristics, and properties of dingot uranium and its use in the Hanford reactors from 1955 to the present. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the terms ingot and dingot uranium as used in this report, ingot uranium refers to the metal made at the Fernald Plant of the National Lead Company by remelting under vacuum a mixed charge of solid scrap, briquetted scrap, and derby metal (… more

Interim report III, production test IP-549-A half-plant low alum feed water treatment at F Reactor

Description: A half-plant low alum treatment test began at F Reactor on January 16, 1963. The test, which had been prompted by results obtained from a statistical analysis of fuel element ledge corrosion attack, will demonstrate whether or not high alum feed is responsible for increasing the frequency of ledge and groove corrosion attack on fuel element surfaces. The effect will be evaluated by comparing visual examination results obtained from normal production fuel irradiated in process water treated with… more

Interim report one to Production Test-IP-549-A, half-plant low alum feed water treatment at F Reactor

Description: A half-plant low alum water treatment test began at F Reactor on January 16, 1963 at startup from the scheduled January 3 tube replacement outage. The test, which was prompted by results obtained from a statistical analysis of fuel ledge corrosion attack, will demonstrate whether or not high alum feed is responsible for increasing the frequency of ledge corrosion attack on fuel element surfaces. The effect will be evaluated by comparing visual examination results obtained from normal production… more

Interim report 2: Production test IP-581-A half-plant high flocculation pH test at B Reactor

Description: A half-plant high flocculation pH test began at B Reactor on September 24, 1963. The purpose of the test was to determine whether operation of the water plant flocculation basins and filters at a pH higher than 7.0 with subsequent coolant pH adjustment to 6.6 is beneficial as far as radioactivity in the effluent is concerned. It is planned to increase the flocculation basin pH in steps to a maximum of 7.6. Although primarily an effluent activity test, fuel discharged after a metal cycle at each… more

Determining initial composition of regenerating in-core neutron flux detectors

Description: A computer program was written to calculate the initial ratio of isotopes which should be used in an in-core neutron flux detector to obtain the maximum use lifetime where the useful lifetime is defined as that period of time during which the sensitivity of the detector remains within specified limits. Input data for the program include cross sections of the isotopes to be used. In order that various reactor environments might be considered, Westcott cross sections have been employed. Westcott … more

The effect of high exposure on production efficiency

Description: We have estimated the effects on production efficiency of raising the plutonium product specification. The various cases have been considered using a pH of 6.6 at all reactors. In addition to this, the following estimates and assumptions have been used: (1) failure rates will vary with the fifth power of exposure and directly with fuel throughput, (2) charge-discharge losses will be proportional to throughput, (3) throughput will vary inversely with exposure, (4) the failure rates of the K5 sel… more

Radiological aspects of dissolving irradiated Li-Al

Description: If a metal shipment from the reactors to a chemical processing plant contained irradiated Li-Al pieces, there would be a release of tritium during processing. Two situations were analyzed -- one where a single piece is inadvertently mixed in a bucket of irradiated uranium metal pieces, and the extreme case where three buckets of Li-Al instead of uranium are sent in a regular well car shipment. One piece contains about 600 curies of H{sup 3} and three buckets of 585, pieces each would contain a … more
