Pu, U redistribution in (U,Pu)O/sub 2/ fuels by temperature gradients

Description: A predictive model of the time-dependent evolution of radial Pu/U + Pu gradients in operating nonmolten mixed oxide fuels is being developed. This model is based on preferential evaporation-condensation and vapor transport of metal-bearing species either along cracks and porosity channels within the fuel or inside closed pores migrating up the temperature gradient; equilibrium thermodynamics are applied to calculate the continually changing vapor composition over the hot fuel. Predictions of th… more

Utilization of Z Plant for Plowshare Program: Study 4

Description: The conversion of plutonium nitrate to metal, the fabrication and assembly of plutonium devices and the recovery of scrap by Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company (ARHCO) has been studied previously in support of the Plowshare Program. Previous studies and Plowshare Task Force meetings along with a teletype directive form the bases for Study 4. The major changes and additions in Study 4 as compared to Study 3 are: a complete new building is considered as an alternate to the use of existing facilit… more

Scrap status reports for plutonium-239 and enriched uranium

Description: Scrap status reports requested by P.A. Craig of the Nuclear Materials Management Branch on July 14, 1972 are presented. The additional detail required disclosed the enriched uranium covered by the scrap declaration HYA-15 was not reported as scrap on the June 30 COEI Reports.

Test of the External Muon Identifier Efficiency

Description: We wish to measure the EMI efficiency at hadron momenta higher than the 3 GeV used at the Beavatron. We propose to use the 30 M{sup 3} bubble chamber as the momentum and spatial analyzer of charged hadrons both of the incident beam and those final state hadrons of interactions that occur within the chamber. We would use the EMI modules as mounted on the bubble chamber vacuum tank to measure the efficiency of the EMI absorbers (coils and zinc) over a wide range of momenta. A hadron signature wou… more

Plutonium in surface soil in the Hanford plant environs

Description: Analyses for plutonium in air, water, and foodstuffs have long been part of the routine surveillance program at Hanford. In addition, the ground and other surfaces have been surveyed for plutonium where there was possible deposition from stack emissions, waste spills, etc., using direct instrument measurements. Detectable plutonium deposition from the few such incidents has been confined to restricted areas. The surface contamination level that can be detected with the portable instruments is a… more

Antiproton--neutron bound state

Description: The possibility of an antiproton-neutron bound state for explaining a narrow peak which was found recently in the experiment p + n yields 4 pi and 6 pi is discussed. It is pointed out that the state is likely to be a /sup 1/P/ sub 1/ state or a higher angular momentum state. (auth)
