Waste Management Program: Chemical Processing Department

Description: During the 18-year history of Hanford operations, a high degree of safety has been provided at reasonable cost by the storage of high-activity liquid wastes in underground tanks, by the percolation of low-activity liquid wastes (principally water) through the soil to the ground water, and by the adsorption or filtration of radioactive materials from gaseous effluents prior to their discharge to the atmosphere. Studies of the Hanford area indicate that current practices could be continued almost… more

Status of Harvey aluminum component evaluation: Production test IP-12-A

Description: About 298,000 OIIIN aluminum components were received from Harvey for evaluation after major steps were take in the vendor`s plant to upgrade product quality. This material met HAPO specifications and was comparable to Alcoa control components. Finished fuel elements (non-bumper and bumper) canned in the test and control components are tabulated by uranium core type and canning month. Non-destructive and destructive test data did not show any differences in clad fuel elements attributable to co… more

Proposed Redox sand filter monitor and stack monitors

Description: The purpose of this January, 1963 report is to review existing Redox exhaust gas sampling equipment and to propose modifications and additions where appropriate. A study was conducted to determine what modifications, if any, should be made to the Redox exhaust gas sampling equipment to improve their present methods of monitoring for excessive amounts of fission product activity.

AlSi slopovers: studies, method of elimination and results

Description: During fuel element assembly, a dip-brazing process., the aluminum can which is ultimately a jacket for a uranium core is protected from the molten AlSi solution by a steel sleeve. Once the can is inserted into the sleeve and thermal expansion is complete, upset metal rings prevent molten AlSi from flowing between the can and sleeve, a situation that warrants rejection. Passage of molten solution beyond upset metal to a point on the can wall not removed during the subsequent facing operation is… more

Potential problems in U-233 production

Description: Interaction of {alpha} particles with elements of low atomic number leads to the emission of neutrons by the ({alpha}, n) reaction. The light element content may become one of the limiting factors in the production of U-233 acceptable for projected uses. Neutron production by the ({alpha}, n) reaction was calculated as functions of U-232 and light element contents.

Production test IP-603-I evaluation of accidental fuel flushing potential D-DR reactors

Description: This purpose of this test is to acquire data to support further studies aimed at determining whether a normal column of I&E enriched fuel elements or a normal column of natural fuel elements can be flushed from a process tube with the crossheader valved down to shutdown position if the front riser pressure is raised to normal operation pressure.

Summary report, Flexible VSR`s and VSR channel sleeve development programs

Description: (VSR = vertical safety rod.) This report summarizes results of development programs which have evaluated vertical rod channel sleeving materials and provided flexible vertical rods, acceptable for both interim use before rod channel sleeving, and for subsequent use in sleeved channels. B{sub 4}C is the rod material; graphite and Al oxide are among the sleeve materials.

Post-irradiation data on fuel elements from KER Loop 4

Description: Fourteen NAE1 fuel elements were discharged from KER Loop-4, after irradiation to an average exposure of 1250 MWD, at prototype N-Reactor coolant temperature and pressure. The elements were disassembled and measured in the KE fuel examination facility. This report includes all measurements, except the profilometer data.

Fabrication of hot die size diffusion bonded fuel elements for Production Test IP-546-A

Description: Hot die sizing (HDS) is a process being considered at Hanford to replace or supplement the existing AlSi brazing process. Hot die sizing consists of passing a preheated core-component fuel assembly through a cold the to bond the aluminum jacket to the core while passing a die plug through the internal bore to form the internal bond. Fuel end bonding is accomplished in a following step by applying heat and pressure to the sized fuel element. This report summarizes the fabrication of fuel element… more

Test Results for Unrestrained Reactor, Gunbarrel-Nozzle Assemblies

Description: These tests were performed in accordance with a letter fran R. C. Breisch to J. R. Spink, May 7, 1962. An unrestrained gunbarrel condition was simulated for each of the standard process tube inlet assemblies for B,C and K type reactors. Primary objects of the testing were to obtain data on movement, pigtail damage, and effect on flow to the process tube in case of a Van Stone flange failure without key restraint of the gunbarrel. All test conditions were relative to actual conditions, but these… more

Draft of physics sections to 100-N technical manual

Description: The information presented is a collection of most of the physics information available for the New Production Reactor. The details of some of the physics information, particularly those dealing with exposure and temperature effects, are by no means to be considered the final word since there has been no experimental verification of these effects. However, the gross physics characteristics described are felt to be reasonable representations of the expected physics behavior of N Reactor and shoul… more
