Status report of confinement studies Douglas United Nuclear operated reactors

Description: Confinement studies on the Hanford Production reactors were started in March at the request of the Richland Operations Office. The confinement studies were then undertaken with the following objectives established: (1) review and reestablish if necessary, the maximum credible accident for the production reactors operated by Douglas United Nuclear (DUN); (2) evaluate the present confinement systems under the Code of Federal Regulation Title 10, Part 100, Reactor Site Criteria, for the maximum cr… more

Transfer measurement statistics derived from Purex Processing Measurements` Quality Control Program

Description: The Purex Processing Measurements Quality Control Program was designed to provide for orderly accumulation of measurements data suitable for statistical evaluation and to identify those elements of a measurement which, if improved, would result in significant reduction in overall measurement variation. This report gives an analysis of the audit data obtained at four transfer stations: L9 plutonium product loadout, K6 uranium product to storage, F15 salt waste to F16 and D5 dissolved feed to pro… more

Research and development allocations and plant assistance support, FY-1966

Description: This report discusses an allocation of $1,320,000 of 02 Reactor and Metallurgy funds which was previously made to the Pacific Northwest Laboratories. The Process Technology work order support which N-Reactor Department expected to provide during FY 1966 was estimated. The R&D allocation was based on the 189 budget proposals which were prepared early in 1965 and program identifications were provided. The integrated five year research and development program was subsequently formulated with the a… more

THERMOPHORETIC VELOCITY OF LARGE AEROSOL PARTICLES

Description: The velocity of thermal repulsion of large aerosol particles has been calculated by others by equating the thermal force on a stationary partlcle to the Stokes-Cunningham viscous force. This procedure is theoretically unsound because the boundary conditions employed in the viscous force equation are erroneous when the particle moves in a thermal gradient. In the current study these difficulties have been circumvented by rederiving the thermal force equation, allowing for a relative velocity bet… more

Estimated costs for classified project

Description: A cost analysis has been made for non-radioactive demonstration tests for the process dissolution of lithium-aluminate (or similar) ceramic in sodium tetraborate molten glass. The tests described in this report demonstrate the more important aspects of tritium production by molten glass dissolution of a high melting temperature lithium-bearing irradiated ceramic.
