Proposed test for using AlSi made from 8001 scrap

Description: A 40-day uranium core canning test (10,000 lbs of high nickel AlSi) is proposed in which one canning line has only AlSi of 0.78-1.1 % Ni added as makeup; the other canning lines would be operated as usual. Besides monitoring the Ni content and other impurities in the test and control lines, attributes, variables, and destructive fuel element data would be collected and analyzed. Estimates for annual savings are given for 8, 9, and 10-line shifts per day.

Fission product ratios of the Purex filter

Description: This report details measurements of fission product ratios which were made an various samples of the Purex canyon exhaust filter to determine the manner and time interval in which the filter became plugged vith foreign material. Results for samples from different levels within the filter bed were compared to investigate accumulation as a function of depth. Strontium-89/strontium-90, Zr-95/Ca-137, Ru-103/Ru-106, and Ce-141/Ce. Pr-144, ratios were determined. These were compared to a constant rat… more

Numerical results of Production Test IP-651-AI, Tripout Test: H Reactor

Description: During the January, 1964, outage at H reactor, major rear-face hardware modifications were performed and enlarged venturis were installed full reactor. These modifications significantly change the reactor hydraulic characteristics. Process Standards - Water Plant) 190-B-070, requires tripout tests be performed whenever a major change is made to either the process pumping system or the reactor hydraulic characteristics. Production Test IP-651-Al was performed on January 17, 1964, to evaluate (1)… more

Design criteria for coolant backup three remaining smaller reactors

Description: This document defines the objectives, bases, and functional requirements that shall govern the preparation of design of the coolant backup system for three remaining smaller reactors. This project will increase the reliability of the coolant backup facility at B Area by providing an independent last-ditch coolant system to B and C Reactors. The reliability of the last-ditch system for D Reactor will also be improved in that the present F and H leg of the export system will no longer be a part o… more

HERMETIC SEALING PROBLEMS IN A SMALL BOILING WATER REACTOR

Description: The results of an extensive survey of the literature and of the subsequent analysis permit the prediction of the rate of radiolytic decomposition of the water coolant. Due to the difficulty in assessing the rate of the back reactions, fundamental data from water radiation chemistry could not be applied in a straightforward manner. It proved more expedient to employ the actually observed decomposition rate data from other boiling water reactors and to extrapolate to the operating conditions of S… more
