Methods of Collection, Preparation and Spectrographic Analysis of Human Tissues

Description: To determine the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of a radionuclide which may be ingested or inhaled with exceeding accepted levels of exposure tot he human body, it is necessary to know the average normal concentration of the natural element in the various tissues of the body. Any element may be ingested or inhaled as the element or as a compound. Although nearly all elements have been observed in living tissue, few quantitative observations had been made before 1950. Preliminary studie… more

Spectrographic Analysis of Normal Human Tissue from Miami, Florida

Description: All tissues included in this report were received from Miami, Florida and the majority are from Jackson memorial Hospital. They were collected, ashed and analyzed according to the methods described in ORNL-CF-57-2-2. The average value of the concentration for each element in a tissue is the average of the concentrations in only those samples of the tissue which contained the element. For example, if, of 25 lives analyzed, only 10 contained lead, the average for lead in liver is the average of t… more

Analog Stimulation of HRP In-Pile Slurry Loop Facility in the LITR

Description: An analog simulation is made of the HRP in-pile slurry loop in the LITR. The radiolytic gas pressure in the pressurizer is determined. This pressure is a result of the generation of radiolytic gas in the loop core. A graphical result is obtained showing the effect of catalyst activity and pressurizer flow rate on the pressure rise from radiolytic gas. The thermal behavior of the system is studied, and the response to various controller settings is predicted. Controller settings very near optimu… more

Thermal Characteristics of a Delta Array Heat Exchanger

Description: The heat transfer and fluid friction characteristics have been determined for a liquid flowing parallel to the tube bundle of a heat exchanger consisting of one hundred and two 1/16-inch O.D. tubes arranged in a delta or triangular array. These results may be expressed by empirical equations.

Low Attack Rates Observed in Toroid Tests with 28 Micron 1600 C Fired ThO2 Spheres

Description: Results of previous toroid tests with 28 micro 1600 fired ThO2 spheres are analyzed. Four possible explanations for the essentially zero attack rates are offered and discussed: peculiar motion of toroids or some unknown wall effect; rotational hydrodynamic forces cushioning the particle impact; the bed was not in suspension and not sliding over the walls of the toroid; round particles are not as erosive to oxide film surface as sharp pointed particles.

Test Results on a Heater-Cooler Unit for the ORR In-Pile Loop

Description: Tests have been completed on a combination heater-cooler unit for use in in-pile loops designed to operate in beam hole HN-1 of the ORR facility. The unit is designed to use air-water mixtures as the coolant. the coolant flows through a spiral of 3/8-inc. diameter tubing cast in aluminum around the 3/8-in. IPS loop pipe. four 1000-w calrod-type electric heating elements are cast into the aluminum, along with the cooling coils to provide loop heating.

Removal of Strontium from Wastes

Description: The hazard of Sr^90 arises in part from its fixation by phosphates in the skeletal system. It is natural then to consider compounds and minerals associated with the phosphate anion for applications in waste disposal. Calcium phosphate floc formation is widely used as a method for removing strontium from contaminated water. Also, calcerous soils are said to be effective for removing strontium from low-level wasters containing dissolved phosphates. It is suggested that one the mechanisms involved… more

Use of Hood Cells for Enclosing Low Level Radiation Processes

Description: A perspective drawing of typical hood cells arranged in series for an assembly line operation is presented. Advantages of this improved enclosure for low level radiation work are listed which recommend its use on new facilities in preference to more conventional designs.
