Avoidance of bulk temperature limits 105-D and F

Description: With higher power levels and probably higher river temperatures, the forthcoming warm water season is expected to impose bulk outlet temperature limits, with consequent production losses, on all Hanford reactors to an even greater extent than last year. The problem has received the attention of a number of management and engineering personnel, but the basis for this study was a letter originating in the Production Operation suggesting two alternate schemes for increasing the flow of process wat… more

Bulk outlet temperature limits and increased reactor power levels

Description: In a recent report, means of circumventing the present bulk temperature limits are suggested. These have definite merit but do not present an over-all picture of the problem. Therefore, this bulk temperature limit is reviewed in order to place the problem in its full perspective. A program of action is suggested that should lead to: Revised operating conditions and process piping to obtain higher power levels at the same bulk outlet temperature; The completion of production tests to permit high… more

EXPLOSIVE REACTIONS DURING REPROCESSING OF REACTOR FUELS CONTAINING URANIUM AND ZIRCONIUM OR NIOBIUM

Description: Small particles of zirconinm formed during mechancal operations have caused serious industrial explosions. Particles of this type will not be encountered during aqueous chemical reprocessing. However, small panticles of metallic phases rich in zirconium or niobium, produced by selective leaching of a more reactive uranium-rich phase, can enter into violently explosive reactions. The conditions under which explosions with zirconium-bearing alloys may be expected during chemical reprocessing have… more

HRT MOCKUP IODINE REMOVAL AND RECOMBINER TESTS

Description: Tests have been run in the HRT core system mockup which demonstrate that iodine can be successfully removed from dry steam by a silver bed. Such a bed is recommended to prevent iodine poisoning of the HRT recombiner catalyst. An added advantage will be removal of I/sup 135/ from circulation, whereby reducing neutron losses a Xe/sup 135/, a daughter. Four experiments were made with the silvered Alundum pellets during which experimental mass transfer coefficients were determined. At 110 deg C the… more

INVESTIGATION OF EFFECT OF SEAL CONFIGURATION ON MIXING FLOW AND RADIATION DAMAGE IN HRT-TYPE CIRCULATING PUMPS. Supplement No. 1

Description: The effect of seal configuration on the rate of mixing flow between the impeller cavity and the motor cavity of a Westinghouse Model 400 A pump was extended to include a configuration wherein the lower radinl bearing acts as a secondary seal. This arrangement increases the life of the motor windings; however, the life of the lower radial and thrust bearings is shortened because of inadequate cooling. (J.E.D.)

Free-Spinning-Tunnel Investigation of a 1/28-Scale Model of the North American FJ-4 Airplane

Description: Report on an investigation to determine the erect and inverted spin and recovery characteristics of a model of the North American FJ-4 airplane. The testing found that either a flat-type of steep-type spin may be obtained when the airplane is spinning erect. The optimum recovery technique from inverted spins was full rudder reversal with simultaneous movement of the ailerons to full with the stick maintained full forward.

Experimental Investigation of Extreme Internal Flow Turning at the Cowl Lip of an Axisymetric Inlet at a Mach Number of 2.95

Description: Memorandum presenting an experimental investigation of the pressure-recovery performance of a fixed-geometry, two-cone, two-drag inlet at Mach number 2.95. Low drag was achieved by use of an internally cylindrical cowl with rapid flow turning that was within 4 degrees of the wedge angle for shock detachment. Results regarding the inlet performance and evaluation of inlet performance are provided.

A REVIEW OF THE DATA AND OBSERVATIONS TAKEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOCATING AND ESTIMATING THE SIZE OF THE HOLE IN THE CORE

Description: Two different measurements of the weight of D/sub 2/O required to fill the blanket to the level at which spillover into the core occurs and visual observation of this level, using a periscope, places the elevation of the hole (or crack) in the core vessel within about 1/2 in.~ of 812 ft 5 in., or approximately 1 to 1 1/2 in below the intersection of the 30 and 90 deg cones. The inherent errors involved in estimating a liquid level in the highpressure system by weighing the liquid drained to the… more

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE PREPARATION OF EXTRUDED GRAPHITE

Description: Graphite was prepared by means of hydraulic extrusion, with densities as high as 1.90 gm/cc, in rods of up to 9/4-in. in diam. Densities higher than 1.90 gm/cc can be obtained by impregnating the graphite. It may be possible, by properly controlling the particle size distribution in the feed material, to achieve higher densities without impregnation. Variables studied included die temperature, mixing technique, binder material, baking procedures, some lubricants and additives, and preliminary w… more
