Underground radioactive materials in 100-H and F plants

Description: At 100-H Area there are 13 locations and at 100-F Area 16 locations where radioactive material was deposited underground. Five of these locations, 2 at 100-H and 3 at 100-F, have been permanently terminated as burial sites in compliance with Radiation Control Standards. They contain solid waste with significant quantities of long-life radionuclides. Burial locations within the 105 Building exclusion fences were not marked with permanent posts as the exclusion fences are sufficient marking for s… more

QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT Research and development activities: fixation of radioactive residues. July-September 1965

Description: The calcined-waste containers produced during the Hot Cell Pilot Plant experiments in 1962 and 1963 have generated a maximum pressure of 3 psig. Design verification tests with the prototype spray calciner showed satisfactory performance when producing high melting point powders. Later tests on other feeds showed poor atomization and cake buildup in the calciner. Design of the prototype equipment is complete. Procurement and fabrication of prototype equipment is done except for a few cleanup ite… more

Use of total beta counts to estimate GI tract dose rates

Description: It was the practice for several years to estimate the potential dose rate to the gastrointestinal from sanitary water sources by evaluating the results of radiochemical analysis of individual nuclides. The proposed method estimates the GI tract dose from Pasco and Richland domestic water from measurements of the total beta activity, and permits more frequent and more economical evaluation of a variable source of radiation exposure. Beginning with 1964 data, the GI tract dose rate for Richland a… more

Production Test PT-IP-810 installation of flat aluminum horizontal control rod, D Reactor

Description: The two small reactors (B and D) currently utilize a flat aluminum horizontal control rod consisting of three cooling tubes surrounded by boron carbide-aluminum neutron absorber rings and an outer casing of aluminum. Two adverse and complementary characteristics of these rods have served to limit the functional reliability of the rods under current and anticipated reactor operating conditions. The construction of the rod presents a relatively high resistance to transfer of heat from the sheath … more

Extended plutonium irradiation

Description: This document examines potential yields from extended irradiation of plutonium in a Hanford K reactor. The study was made using the MOFOA program on the IBM-7090 Computer. Two types of plutonium were examined -- weapons grade plutonium and plutonium from (.22 w/o U- 235) depleted uranium irradiated to an exposure of about 2000 mwd/t. Both types of plutonium were irradiated for 3 years at an assumed 80 per cent operating efficiency.

PT IP-754 physics testing of H Reactor: Final report

Description: Significant changes in fuel design, operating levels, loading geometry, and moderator condition have taken place since the Hanford reactors started operation. Changes which affect nuclear safety parameters require continuing analysis of the possible effects on safety system strengths and maximum potential reactivities. For this reason the shutdown of a Hanford reactor offered an excellent opportunity to measure many of the above factors without a significant production loss. Therefore a test pr… more

Final report for FY 1965 on tungsten--uranium dioxide materials for NASA. Part I. Preparation of high purity uranium oxide powders. Part II. Cladding and joining of tungsten cermets by plasma spraying. Part III. Tungsten coating of uranium dioxide particles

Description: Declassified 28 Aug 1973. Several uranium oxide fuel materials were prepared for evaluation. Included was a 2-pound sample of plasma jet spheroidized. 30- to 60- mu UO/sub 2/ of precisely controlled stoichiometry containing less than 50 ppM metallic impurities. Six 1-pound samples of 30- to 60- mu U0/sub 2/ were prepared which contained calcium oxide, thorium oxide, or yttrium oxide stabilizing agents in solid solution. These powders were coated with 8 to 10 mu of tungsten by hydrogen reduction… more

Control Drum Bearing Vibration Test (EML-85)

Description: A series of vibration tests were run at reactor temperature conditions to determine whether the control drum bearings could withstand wthe critical axial vibrations that might occur during ground tests of the NRX-A reactors. Additional tests will be required to evaluate the bearings under space operating conditions.
