ENERGY RECEPTION AND TRANSFER IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Description: The basic information about the path of carbon in photosynthesis is reviewed together with the methods that were used to discover it. This has led to the knowledge of what is required of the photochemical reaction in the form of chemical species. Attention is then directed to the structure of the photochemical apparatus itself insofar as it is viewable by electron microscopy, and some principoles of ordered structure are devised for the types of molecules to be found in the chloroplasts. From t… more

THE METABOLSIM AND TOXICITY OF RADIUM-223 IN RATS

Description: This report covers studies of the excretion and retention of 'tracer' and toxic doses of the 11.2-day Ra{sup 223} isotope, its acute toxicity (organ weight changes, gross and microscopic pathology, and Fe{sup 59} utilization by the bone marrow), and long-term histopathological changes and alterations in the hemogram.

ROUND TRIP FROM SPACE

Description: Whence came life on the surface of the earth? Whether or not a complete answer to this question may be found within the context, and content, of modern science, may be a moot question. It is our purpose to see how far we can devise an answer, and how satisfactory it may be, within that context. We trace a path from the primitive molecules of the primeval earth's atmosphere condensed from space through the random formation of more or less complex organic molecules, using the available energy sou… more

An evaluation of the Weldon Spring Feed Preparation and Sampling Plant

Description: A description of the new Weldon Spring Feed Preparation and Sampling Plant for uranium concentrates is given. Prior to the startup of this plant the auger to be later installed was used in an evaluation program to test reliability for representative sampling and uniformity both within drums and between drums of various concentrates. Results of this program were used as a reference for the sampling plant evaluation which involved successive auger and mechanical sampling of a series of lots of se… more

Electrolytic procedure for the removal of ruthenium and nitrate from alkaline waste solutions

Description: The flowsheet proposed by KAPL for the treatment of alkaline nitrate radiochemical processing waste has been modified to include an ion-exchange step for the decontamination of cesium, strontium, and other cationic fission products. In laboratory studies of the electrolysis steps in a nitrate reduction cell, synthetic alkaline waste, 0.55 to 4.83 M total electrolyte, was decontaminated from ruthenium by factors of > 210. The nitrate of 3.0 M waste was reduced to ammonia with current efficien… more

Analyses and correlations of HAPO rupture experience with natural uranium material

Description: One of the major factors restricting reactor power levels is the incidence of ruptured slugs. The primary purpose in studying ruptures is to determine how reactor operating variables affect rupture rates. With this knowledge reactor operating conditions may be adjusted or controlled in the manner that will optimize reactor production. In addition, knowledge of rupture rate relationships are useful in fuel element development and in overall economic studies of existing and proposed reactors and … more

Hanford Atomic Products Operation Five-Year Program

Description: The General Electric Company has prepared in past years numerous documents for the Atomic Energy Commission outlining in some detail its current and proposed programs at Hanford. Last year, at the request of the commission, program types of information were consolidated into one document, the HAPO Five Year Program. That document was well received and useful to an extent that the General Electric Company was requested by the Commission to prepare another covering the fiscal years 1959 through 1… more

In-reactor corrosion of X-8001 and 1245 aluminum: Analysis of data from PT IP-42A

Description: Failures of standard fuel element jackets (1245 aluminum alloy) after relatively short Hanford reactor exposures are occurring at high reactor power levels. Metallographic examination of fuel element jackets from short exposure ruptures shows the cause of failure to be rapid intergranular corrosion. This type of attack has been reproduced in laboratory tests by exposure to water at temperatures above 200 C, or to steam at temperatures higher than 300 C. Flow disruptions due to misalignment of t… more

HAPO irradiation of capsules containing UO{sub 2} specimens

Description: A knowledge of the effect of reactor irradiation on the properties of UO{sub 2} is relevant to the design and evaluation of UO{sub 2} fuel elements for the PRTR. Of particular interest is the effect of reactor irradiation on the thermal conductivity of sintered UO{sub 2} and the type, mechanism, and extent of radiation damage in sintered UO{sub 2}. In the latter case the study of fractured surfaces of irradiated UO{sub 2} specimens is a method of determining the extent of radiation damage. It i… more

Stress Analysis of Bulk Effluent System Components in B and C Reactors

Description: This report presents a study of the stresses induced in the elbow and downcomer of the B and C Reactors (bulk effluent systems) by flow momentum and pressurization effects. It is desirable to ascertain the limitations on the bulk outlet temperatures and flow rates from a stress viewpoint; the elbow, top coverplate of downcomer, and top baffle plate being the most severely stressed components.

GEH-4-32, Bonded segmented fuel element irradiation

Description: We have prepared what we call a bonded segmented fuel element. This fuel element has characteristics which make it an attractive prospect for high specific power operation at relatively low uranium temperatures. The fuel slug is made up of six longitudinal segments; each segment being bonded to the aluminum webbing and tubing that encases it. The pertinent information for this irradiation is summarized along with fabrication details and hazards, thermal aspects and calculations, and figures.

Final report -- IP-153-I, Hagan coagulant aid as a substitute for separan

Description: The demand for filtered water will be increased when I and E slugs are charged into the reactors. Some of the filter plants are near their ultimate capacity. One of the quickest ways of obtaining increased amounts of filtered water for production use is to restore to normal process service certain filters which are now isolated for exclusive drinking water use. These drinking water filters are isolated because the process water filters are being treated with Separans, a material which has not b… more
