Application of a Modified Debye-Huckel Theory to Fully Ionized Gases

Description: The equations of the Debye-Huckel theory, modified to include quantum statistics, are discussed. It is found that the nonlinear equations used by Cowan and Kirkwcod are not unique and that the nonlinear theory can be formulated in different ways to give different answers. The linearized equations of these alternative formulations are discussed, and the correct form of the linearized theory is established. From the linear theory, the Helmholtz free energy of a slightly degenerate plasma is deriv… more

The continuous chlorination of plutonium dioxide

Description: Previous reports on the chlorination of plutonium dioxide describe numerous small-scale experiments and a few fair-sized batch preparations. The chemistry of chlorination by numerous reagents is covered, but no process had received sufficient study for large-scale preparation of anhydrous plutonium trichloride. The literature search revealed no extensive studies on chlorination rates, exhaust gas filtering, atmospheric requirements, reactor materials, etc. A program was undertaken to select a c… more

Status of plutonium trichloride process development (2)

Description: The development of a reduction step using plutonium trichloride instead of plutonium tetrafluoride in 234-5 Building processing was proposed early in 1958. This process change was intended to reduce the neutron radiation associated with plutonium fluoride. Neutron dose estimates shaw that over half of 234-5 Building neutron exposure is associated with the fluoride process steps. Other measurements show that a 60-fold reduction in neutron flux could be realized by converting to a chloride proces… more

Thermodynamic Functions of a Partially Degenerate, Fully Ionized Gas

Description: The formalism of Glassgold, Heckrotte, and Watson for the expansion of the quantum-mechanical grand partition function has been applied to a gas of point charges. The theory was extended to a multicomponent gas of fermions and bosons, and the ring diagrams were summed to give an approximate expression for the equation of state valid for the entire temperature range. The near-classical limit (high-temperature and low-density so that the gas is only slightly degenerate) is discussed in detail, an… more

Criticality of Fuels of Low Enrichment in Cylinders

Description: Maximum safe cylinder diameters, slab thicknesses, and minimum critical masses in spherical geometries for fuel of < 5.0& U-235 enrichment have been evaluated. It is of interest to know the minimum critical masses as a function of cylinder diameter for vessels that are not safe by geometry. Curves will be presented of critical masses as a function of cylinder diameter and fuel rod size for 1.6%, 3.0%, and 5.0% U-235 enriched metal-water systems.

Recovery of Plutonium from Chloride Slag and Crucible

Description: Neutron radiation can be greatly reduced by substituting plutonium trichloride for plutonium tetrafluoride in the dry chemistry step of metal preparation. Chloride processes are now common in the metal preparation industry, and the 234-5 Developmental Laboratory has shown plutonium trichloride can be satisfactorily prepared and reduced to the metal.
