Analog program in reactor speed of control studies

Description: One of the characteristics of the safety control system of the Hanford reactors which is of primary concern from the standpoint of reactor safety is the response time. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the safety control system is sufficiently fast-acting to prevent an intolerably large power excursion from developing. An intolerably large power excursion is one that would cause a melting of the uranium while the reactor power is above the previous operating level. The purpose o… more

Measurements of radioisotopes and trace constituents in the PRTR D{sub 2}O and helium systems

Description: During the first two weeks of May while PRTR was being tested at a power level of a few MW, rather large amounts of some fission product gases were observed in the helium system. Samples of D{sub 2}O from the primary cooling system taken during the second week of May were analyzed and found to contain I{sup 131-133-135} and some fission gases (and their daughters) but practically no other fission products. On May 14 the reactor power level was raised to 10 MW and operated at about that level un… more

A Review of Glove Box Construction and Experimentation

Description: A series of fires and explosions in U. S. Atomic Energy Commission facilities handling alpha -active materiais during the last five years resulted in reconsideration of safety problems associated with glove boxes and other equipment used to contain these materials. The literature on construction and operation of glove boxes for work with toxic inorganic materials not requiring biological shielding is reviewed as a contribution to this re-examination, with special emphasis on methods and equipme… more
