Richland five-year 02 R and D program, Basic Production Mission

Description: This report contains the reports of progress and the plans for future work of Douglas United Nuclear, and Atlantic Richfield on the Basic Production Mission. This mission covers the Research and Development work associated with operating the Hanford production complex in its present mode. For the conventional reactors this means primarily the production of weapons-grade plutonium. For the N Reactor this primarily concerns the production of plutonium of 12 percent Pu-240 content, or such other P… more

Precise Admittance of a Monopole.

Description: The purpose of this paper is to obtain the admittance of a monopole antenna to a higher degree of accuracy than has heretofore been reported in the literature. The model selected for analysis consists of a base-driven monopole of arbitrary dimensions (length and radius) protruding perpendicularly from an infinite ground plane. The transmission line providing the excitation is a coaxial cable with outer sheath truncated at ground level. The problem is solved by obtaining the admittance of the mo… more

Richland five-year O2 R&D program, other isotopes

Description: The Hanford production complex is potentially capable of producing and processing a wide variety of isotopes. Some of these have been identified as specific R & D missions (i.e., plutonium-238, transplutonium elements and tritium), and the technical programs supporting these efforts are described elsewhere in this series of Five-Year Program documents. Capability to produce other isotopes has been demonstrated in the successful production of `clean` uranium-233, in the recovery of large quantit… more

Richland Five-Year 02 R&D Program - Pu-238 program

Description: There are three principal facets to the Pu-238 Program which are important to Richland. First, reactor neptunium production rates can be materially enhanced by judicious fuel management plans. Second, significant improvement in production efficiency and costs may be made if the Pu-238 production step (irradiation of Np-237) were sites at Richland. Further, Richland reactors have ample capacity, without reducing power, to irradiate all neptunium from government and commercial reactor sources whi… more

Richland five-year O2 R and D Program: Nuclear safety

Description: While the safety status of the Richland facilities has in the past been deemed adequate, all aspects of nuclear technology have progressed and evolved including standards of nuclear safety. Hence, the national nuclear safety environment within which the Richland facilities are operated is grossly different now than was the case ten years ago; a commensurate change can be expected in the future. Further, the urgency of national security aspects of Hanford operation seems less acute now than in t… more

Richland five-year O2 R and D Program: Target space enhancement

Description: This document contains the reports of progress and the plans for future work of Douglas United Nuclear, Inc., on the Target Space Enhancement Mission. The DUN research and development program is based on a long-range operating plan which recognizes a continuing need for the production of special nuclear materials in AEC facilities. Among these expected needs are increased requirements for non-defense plutonium, tritium, and other isotopes. The purpose of the target space enhancement mission is … more

Richland Five-year 02 R&D Program

Description: This program is directed to the production of higher weight plutonium isotopes and transplutonium isotopes from the irradiation of transuranic elements, particularly plutonium. Since production of Pu-238 from the irradiation of Np-237 and Am-241 is the subject of Mission 4, Pu-238 Program, it is excluded from this Mission. Specific products which are of prime interest are Cm-244 and plutonium containing a high concentration of either the Pu-240 isotope or the Pu-242 isotope. Because of the pote… more

Richland five-year O2 R and D Program: Enriched fuel processing

Description: In anticipation of a continuing trend for reductions in military plutonium requirements, reactor programs at the Richland site are being directed toward other long-term production objectives. For the general case of an alternate reactor product, uranium-238 would be displaced from the reactor by another target material, e.g., lithium (for tritium production) or neptunium-237 (for plutonium-238 production), and the remaining fuel would require higher enrichment (increase of uranium-235 concentra… more
