Control Air Conditions at the Reactor Chamber. Section I. Test Results DL-S-269

Description: The purpose of the test was to determine the ability of the Control Air System to provide the necessary quantity and quality of clean, dry air to keep the rod drive mechanism stator and position indicator housings at about 3 PSIG in order to avoid low stator resistances resulting from condensation during plant cooldown. The Control Air System is capable of providing the quality of air specified in AEC letter SBO:JWF:100 dated November 17, 1958 of less than 44 grains of moisture per lb. of air i… more

AXIAL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION IN EGCR. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PTD-1 PROGRAM

Description: The equations and procedures of the PTD-1 program for obtaining the surface temperature distribution, the gas bulk temperature, and the pressure distribution for any of the 234 channels in the EGCR are developed. The program, in FORTRAN for the IBM 7090, is designed for any arbitrary power distribution yielding a constant gas outiet temperature or a given maximum surface temperature and includes the effects of thermal radiation on surface and bulk gas temperatures. The flow sheet and some resul… more

Liquid-Liquid Extraction of Uranium and Plutonium from Hydrochloric Acid Solution with TRI (Iso-Octyl) Amine. Separation of Uranium and Plutonium from Thorium and Fission Products

Description: A new and rapid method for the liquid-liquid extraction of uranium and plutonium from hydrochloric acid solution is based on the use of tri(iso-octyl)amine dissolved in xylene or methylisobutylketone. Uranium and/or plutonium are separated from thorium, alkalis, alkaline earths, rare earths, zirconium, niobium, ruthenium and other elements which do not form anionic species under the conditions described. The technique may be used for either tracer or macro quantities of uranium. Several practic… more

Effect of Core Corrosion Sample Assembly on HRT Critical Concentration

Description: An estimate has been made of the critical fuel concentration in the HRT, taking into account the effect of the core corrosion sample assembly. The estimate is based on a number of previous calculations of critical concentration in an un-poisoned reactor and one calculation of critical concentration as a function of poison level. The makeup of the first core corrosion sample assembly was used in calculating equivalent neutron poisoning effects. Figure 1 shows the estimated critical concentration… more
