Tank 241-AP-105, cores 208, 209 and 210, analytical results for the final report

Description: This document is the final laboratory report for Tank 241-AP-105. Push mode core segments were removed from Risers 24 and 28 between July 2, 1997, and July 14, 1997. Segments were received and extruded at 222-S Laboratory. Analyses were performed in accordance with Tank 241-AP-105 Push Mode Core Sampling and Analysis Plan (TSAP) (Hu, 1997) and Tank Safety Screening Data Quality Objective (DQO) (Dukelow, et al., 1995). None of the subsamples submitted for total alpha activity (AT), differential … more

Recriticality energetics of a hypothetical water reflood accident in a damaged light water reactor

Description: The Three Mile Island (TMI-2) accident in 1979 resulted in approximately 45% of the fuel collapsing into an irregularly-shaped debris bed near the center of the core, while some of the molten material flowed into the lower dome of the reactor vessel where it solidified. The immediate cause of this severely degraded geometry was loss of coolant and subsequent heatup of the fuel from decay heat. The neutron chain reaction had shut down prior to fuel relocation (below 5 wt% {sup 235}U enrichment, … more

Structure-Based Predictive Model for Coal Char Combustion Quarterly Technical Progress Report: April - June 1997

Description: During the third quarter of this project, progress was made on both major technical tasks. Progress was made in the chemistry department at OSU on the calculation of thermodynamic properties for a number of model organic compounds. Modelling work was carried out at Brown to adapt a thermodynamic model of carbonaceous mesophase formation, originally applied to pitch carbonization, to the prediction of coke texture in coal combustion. This latter work makes use of the FG-DVC model of coal pyrolys… more

Rapid scanning mass spectrometer. Final CRADA report for CRADA Number Y-1295-0394

Description: This Cooperative Research and Development Agreement was used to modify Vacuum Technology`s AERO VAC computer/mass spectrometer interface and electronics to allow the mass spectrometer to acquire rapid scans. The computer interface sends signals from the PC to the mass spectrometer, controlling its filament, giving scan instructions, and selecting the proper electrometer range, and detector. It then receives the detector output in the form of amplified digital signals from the electrometer. This… more
