Production Test IP-584-D, supplement B, irradiation of target assemblies in the KER Loops

Description: The objective of this supplement to Production Test IP-584-D is to authorize low exposure (5--8 GVR) irradiation tests of the following lithium-containing target materials: Magnesium -- 14 percent lithium alloy, Lithium-aluminate (LiA1O2), Lithium-silicate (Li2SiO), Lithium-aluminate -- aluminum cermet, Lithium-silicate -- aluminum cermet. Lithium target materials will be contained in 4.50 inch long aluminum cans which are clad with 35 mil Zircaloy-2 alloy. The target elements will be contained… more

Report of invention: Increasing amounts of Pu-241 isotope

Description: This invention report suggests a method for drastically increasing the amount of Pu-241 in isotopic mixtures of plutonium. It is felt that with process experience, as much as 70 percent or more of the potential Pu-241 atoms can be concentrated in the fuel at one time. Such a concentration step would double the amount of production obtainable from Pu-241 by nuclear decay. The process to concentrate the Pu-241 consists of two basic steps: 1. Irradiate plutonium consisting largely of Pu-239 isotop… more

Top shield temperatures, C and K Reactors

Description: A modification program is now in progress at the C and K Reactors consisting of an extensive renovation of the graphite channels in the vertical safety rod ststems. The present VSR channels are being enlarged by a graphite coring operation and channel sleeves will be installed in the larger channels. One problem associated with the coring operation is the danger of damaging top thermal shield cooling tubes located close to the VSR channels to such an extent that these tubes will have to be remo… more

B, D, F, DR, H reactor new aluminum HCR concept: Temperature study

Description: The horizontal control rods presently installed in the older Hanford Reactors have inadequate heat transfer characteristics for present and predicted future operation of the reactors. Continued graphite stack distortion, coupled with higher graphite temperatures, has resulted in ECR failure during reactor operation, such as swelling of the outer aluminum sheaths to the extent that rod movement in the graphite channel is severely restricted. Continued graphite stack distortion will tend to furth… more

Technical note on the determination of K-reactor last-ditch cooling adequacy

Description: The Hanford reactors contain a very large inventory of fission products and it is very important that this inventory be contained. In recognition of this, rather stringent reactor cooling requirements have been established for the Hanford reactors. This includes the requirement of three independent cooling systems, including the system for full level operation. The second and last-ditch systems both are usable only after a reactor scram and take-over automatically from the flywheel decay of the… more

Investigation of Turbocirculator for Target, a 1000-Mw(e) Reactor: Summary Report

Description: The present study was undertaken for the purpose of determining the feasibility, establishing the required development program, and estimating the cost of a turbocirculator to provide the pumping power for a 1000-Mw(e) high-temperature gas-cooled reactor power plant as part of the TARGET program. This necessitated preliminary design of the turbocirculator in conjunction with the reactor power plant as well as the investigation of methods for the optimization of the turbocirculator and for its d… more

Authorization request for potential non-compliance with the American Standard Safety Code for Elevators Dumbwaiters and Escalators

Description: A Third Party inspection of the reactor work platforms was conducted by representatives of the Travelers Insurance Company in 1958. An inspection report submitted by these representatives described hazardous conditions noted and presented a series of recommendations to improve the operational safety of the systems. Project CGI-960, ``C`` & ``D`` Work Platform Safety Improvements -- All Reactors, vas initiated to modify the platforms in compliance with the Third Party recommendations. The Americ… more

ANALOG SOLUTION OF A MODEL OF THE SOURCES OF ELUTRIATABLE FINES IN THE FLUIDIZED BED CLACINATION PROCESS

Description: A model is proposed which depicts the sources of elutriatable fines in the fluidized bed calcination process as being in two major groups, spray drying mechanisms and attrition mechanisms. Based on this model, equations are derived which express the rate of change of the concentration of a chemical tracer material in the elutriated fines, following introduction of the tracer into the feed and following its removal from the feed. This system has been simulated on an analog computer, and by match… more

STUDIES OF THERMIONIC MATERIALS FOR SPACE POWER APPLICATIONS. Quarterly Progress Report, September 1, 1963-November 30, 1963

Description: Isostatic-pressing techniques using reversible gels as the pressing medium were studied for improving the uniformity in density and structure of UC-- ZrC bodies. Control of powder-size fraction was studied as a means for controlling the pore distribution. Control of the carbon content by thermal treatment in a mixture of H/sub 2/ and hydrocarbon was also studied. Near stoichiometric 30 UC--70 ZrC powder was prepared by gas-metal reaction. Assembly of an apparatus for study of the thermochemical… more
