Hanford Works Analytical Manual for Reactor Process Water

Description: Purpose: "The Hanford Works Analytical Manual for Process Water is designed to specify the analytical methods to be applied for control purposes in the Reactor Section, Process Sub-Section laboratories. The procedures are in general form and serve as references rather than outlined laboratory instructions. The manual us designed to replace the "Hanford Works Manual," HW-12862."

Thermogalvanic Effects Between Aluminum Slug Jackets

Description: Report discussing an experiment testing the severity of attack of an aluminum slug jacket containing one or more spots hotter than the rest of the jacket. These conditions match those likely to exist in a poorly bonded slug.

Transformation and Magnetic Phenomena Occuring in Boron Stainless Steel Vertical Safety Rods

Description: Summary: "The low carbon 18-8 stainless steels containing approximately 1.7 per cent boron used for vertical safety rods at Hanford were found to be structurally stable in the temperature range 0-450 C. The addition of boron decreases the stability of this metastable austenitic alloy. Sufficient ferrite formation is induced by sub-zero temperature treatments to result in dimensional changes and a magnetic alloy. The difficulties encountered in machining this material are believed to be due prim… more

The Analysis of TBP Process Streams for Calcium with the Flame Photometer

Description: Summary: A method was found for determining calcium concentrations in TBP process streams in spite of serious interferences bysodium, ferrous, uranyl, sulfate, phosphate, and sulfamate ions as well as by TBP. The precision attainable varied from sample to sample, depending upon its composition. In general, errors of 20% or greater occurred. The smallest determinable amount of calcium was about 10 mg/1.

Evaluation of etchants for deoxidizing aluminum components

Description: In the canning operation, the preparation of aluminum components is important in assuring uniform wetting of the aluminum surfaces with Al-Si. The surfaces of the components should be free of dirt and grease and should also have a minimum retention of non-metallic film, normally aluminum oxide, for the best wetting properties. At present, dirt and grease are removed satisfactorily by a vapor degreaser followed by a Duponol-alkaline wash. The standard specified method of removing the aluminum ox… more

Laboratory evaporation of Redox PR solution

Description: Since Redox start-up, several samples of Redox PR solution have been evaporated in the laboratory as one step in a study of the Redox -- 234 coupling process. Because feed for Task I in 234-5 will be produced by evaporative concentration of Redox and purex product solutions, and because laboratory work has shown the desirability of filtering Redox solutions after such evaporation prior to use in Task I. This report summarizes the observations which have been made in the course of this work, as … more

The less familiar elements in the Atomic Energy program

Description: Many factors are responsible for the rapid growth of analytical chemistry during the past ten to fifteen years (This report was written in 1953). One of the most important of these factors is the greatly increased significance to present day chemistry of many elements that in the recent past were principally chemical curiosities. Since the Atomic Energy program is concerned with many such elements, it is of interest to discuss the cause for this concern and the resulting effect on the field of … more

Preliminary Study of the Pile Effluent Piping System

Description: In order to carry out the program of increased pile operating levels either tube outlet temperature or the water flows must be increased. This program proposes a considerable increase in both the pile effluent water flow and temperature. Consequently an investigation was started of problems that might be encountered in the pile effluent system. Later, a decision was made that the portion of this investigation dealing with the effects of increased water flow would be handled by the Pile Material… more

Redox dissolver tests

Description: At the present time, production commitments require that each of the two dissolvers used at the Redox Plant be charged with 4.95 tons of irradiated metal every other day. After the aluminum jackets are removed from the slugs, the uranium is dissolved in three ``outs`` of 1.65 tons each. Because meteorological conditions often limit the time when the radioactive dissolver off gases may be emitted without contamination of the surrounding area, the dissolving requirements are frequently too great … more

Sodium dichromate as a process water additive: An evaluation

Description: For several years-after the start-up of the Hanford Piles, little concern was felt for the quality of process water. Techniques developed by CMX and improved in the course of operating experience were substantially successful for controlling and removing pressure drop film; and corru%ion rates at the early power levels were uniformly low and not a matter of concern, particularly since slugs were not exposed for more than 250 MWD/ton. As power and exposure levels were drastically increased, howe… more

Radiological Sciences Department investigation radiation incident, Class I, No. 299

Description: Fragments of radioactive materials were deposited in the Redox area during August, 1953. By radiation monitoring, the location, physical properties, and dosage were determined. The cause was assumed to be the buildup of ammonium nitrate containing ruthenium on the filters of the Redox stack. The amount of occupational exposure, and the reasons why this incident happened were also discussed.

Production Test 105-533-A -- Supplement C, Local controlled increases in C-Pile tube powers

Description: Production Test 105--533-A and Supplements A and B which authorize an ``experimental area`` in C-pile in which the tube power limits are relaxed to allow tube power increases up to 16-2/3 per cent above the maximum allowed tube power outside of the experimental area. Supplement B (HW-28775) further limits the maximum tube power to 820 kw. The planned increase of tube powers at C-Pile (from 700 kw/tube to 800 kw/tube) for the tubes outside of the experimental area will cause the experimental are… more
