Eddy-Current Inspection Methods : Trip Report - The Dr. Förster Institute, Reutlingen, Germany

Description: Abstract; Test instruments developed at the Dr. Förster Institute, Reutlingen, Germany, were considered for possible application to Savannah River nondestructive inspection problems involving stainless steel and aluminum tubing. None of the equipment can solve these problems without modifications. Several instruments are recommended for further study in connection with their use with aluminum tubing. None will be considered for use with stainless steel at this time."

TNX Evaporator Incident January 12, 1953

Description: From abstract: "The circumstances are described pertaining to an explosion in a TNX evaporator during the concentration of a uranyl nitrate-nitric acid solution. TBP and Amsco diluent were probably present in the evaporator charge. A laboratory program involving small-scale atmospheric and closed-vessel distillations of various mixtures of UNH, HNO3, Amsco, TBP, and water indicate that an exothermic reaction between TBP and UNH, or between TBP and HNO3, or both, was responsible for the explosio… more

A Monitor for Surface Adsorbed Tritium

Description: From abstract: "A monitor for detection of surface-adsorbed tritium beta particles has been developed. The detecting element is a windowless Geiger tube with the counting gas flowing through it. The normal limit of detection of a single-tube probe is 800 d/m of tritium, while a three-tube probe is probably limited to about 2000 d/m. Both probes have a counting efficiency of about 10% for tritium."

Thermocouples and Cables for Nuclear Reactors

Description: From abstract: "The development, design, specification, and manufacture of special-purpose thermocouples sheathed in stainless steel for use in nuclear reactors are described. In connection with this work, a three element cable for transmitting the signal from neutron-flux measuring devices was developed."
