Chemical Processing Department monthly report, October 1958

Description: Output of plutonium from the separations plants Purex, Redox was slightly less than that scheduled; however, year-to-date production exceeds the corresponding commitment. Production of UO{sub 3} met the commitment, and UO{sub 3} shipments conformed to the established shipping schedule. Production of buttons and shapes was slightly less than the commitment as shown in the current Official Forecast. Shipments of buttons conformed to the current Forecast, while large shape shipments were slightly … more

Columbia River flow-time calculations

Description: Re-appraisal of the available data on flow times of the Columbia River between the reactor areas and Pasco was undertaken to permit extrapolation of the flow-time curves to lower river flow rates. Comparisons were made between data collected by the US Corps of Engineers and Regional Monitoring and with the equation for calculation of flow times developed by H.T. Norton. Extrapolation of the Regional Monitoring float study data to a flow of 3 {times} 10{sup 5} gallons per second was accomplished… more

DAREX PROCESS: BATCH DISSOLUTION AND CHLORIDE REMOVAL STEPS FOR YANKEE ATOMIC FUEL

Description: In laboratory scale experiments dilution of a Darex dissolver product from the integral dissolution of Yankee Atomic fuel specimens with at least an equal volume of 15.8M HNO/sub 3/, followed by distillation, produced a solvent extraction feed containing less than 50 ppm of chloride. Properly designed chloride stripping and nitric acid rectification columns are capable of conserving acids for recycle to the dissolver and chloride removal still. In initial experiments about 87% of the nitric aci… more

CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF DEFECTED FUEL ELEMENTS WITH U-2 w/o Zr CORE CLAD WITH ZIRCALOY-2

Description: The aqueous corrosion behavior of defected fuel elements having a U-2 wt. % Zr core with Zircaloy-2 cladding has been studied. A standard diffusion heat treatment for 7 hours at 880 C, followed by moderately rapid cooling, was established to overcome the effect of subtle defects in 15-mil Zircaloy cladding. The development of this heat treatment was carried out primarily with small rod specimens, which were also used to obtain data on aurxiliary effects of thw diffusion heat treatment. The heat… more

A Wind-Tunnel Investigation of the Wing Loads Due to Deflected Inboard Ailerons on a 45 Degree Sweptback Wing at Transonic Speeds

Description: Memorandum presenting the effects of deflected inboard ailerons on the wing loads of a 45 degree sweptback wing-body combination in the 16-foot transonic tunnel. The model had a wing with an aspect ratio of 3, a taper ratio of 0.2, and NACA 65A004 airfoil sections. Results regarding the chordwise pressure distributions, effect of ailerons on wing section loadings, effect of aileron on wing loading, and effects of a deflected aileron on opposite-wing loading are provided.

Preliminary Aerodynamic Data Pertinent to Manned Satellite Reentry Configurations

Description: Report presenting some experimental data and calculations for a variety of aerodynamic shapes considered for use as manned reentry vehicles. Three types of vehicles were tested: non-lifting bodies, lifting bodies, and airplane-like vehicles. All of the configuration types were found to be suitable for use as manned reentry vehicles with certain fin and flap modifications for certain shapes.

Buffet Tests of an Attack-Airplane Model With Emphasis on Analysis of Data From Wind-Tunnel Tests

Description: Memorandum presenting the buffet characteristics of a scale model of an attack airplane over a range of Mach numbers. The wing had a modified delta plan form with an NACA 0008 airfoil section at the root and an NACA 0005 airfoil section at the tip, a leading-edge sweep of 41.11 degrees, an aspect ratio of 2.91, and a taper ratio of 0.226. Results regarding the frequency spectrum of bending moment, effect of density on root-mean-square bending moment, system damping coefficients, and buffet inpu… more

Corrosion and Creep Behavior of Tantalum in Flowing Sodium

Description: The corrosion behavior of commercial tantalum in high-purity flowing sodium from 700 to 1200 deg F and the effect of sodium exposure on the creep strength of tantalum at 1200 deg F were investigated. The tests were conducted in forced-convection flow loops constructed of Type 315 stainless steel. With continuously gettered sodium systems (probably containing less than 10 ppm oxygen) operating for periods up to 50 days, weight losses sustained by 1200 deg F specimens corresponded to only about 0… more

Preliminary Testing of a Proportional Counter for Neutron Spectroscopy With Helium-3

Description: The He/sup 3/(n,p)T reaction can be utilized in a proportional counter for neutron-energy determination in the region 100 kev to 1 Mev. This has already been demonstrated and the reaction cross section in this energy region has been measured with a counter. For practical application of the counter as a spectrometer, such as in health physics work, it is desirable to increase the counter efficiency. A proportional counter utilizing an anticoincidence ring to reduce wall effect has been construct… more

Bulk outlet temperature limits and increased reactor power levels

Description: In a recent report by J.R. Young means of circumventing the present bulk temperature limits are suggested. These have definite merit but do not present an overall 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 land to either: Revised operating conditions and process piping to obtain higher power levels at the same bulk outlet temperature, or the completion of production… more
