THE REFLECTIVITY OF ORANGE OXIDES

Description: One of the basic problems associated with the production of uranium tetrafluoride is the varying reactivity of uranium trioxide (orange oxide). Separate batches of material produced by the same method may be so dissimilar that they require different sets of reaction conditions for satisfactory processing. Orange oxide (UO/sub 3/) is almost invariably a mixture of several different types. Reactivity'' is the term applied to the behavior or a given orange oxide with respect to its reduction to UO… more

POSSIBILITY OF PEROXIDE PRECIPITATION WHEN THE REACTOR CELL IS FLOODED

Description: It is expected that after the Homogeneous Reactor Test has operated at high power, some maintenance operations will require flooding the reactor cell. Minimum temperatures for preventing peroxide precipitation from the fuel solution during flooding are plotted. (D.E.B.)

Coolant Flow Tailoring Program of the Appr-1 Core Employing a Full Scale Model of the Reactor Vessel

Description: Experimental data obtained from the simulating air flow rig indicated that though the fluid entering the fuel elements amd control rods from the plenum chamber follows a rather random behavior, there is, however, a fairly consistent distributional pattern. Thus, fuel elements located equidistant from the core center may require different orifice diameters to meet a given flow requirement. This, in fact, is apparent from the final orifice diameter schedule which was recommended. Control of flow … more

Reactor Physics Primer

Description: An introduction for the beginner to the fundamentals of nuclear physics is presented, dealing genernlly with the reactor physics aspects of the processes used at Hanford in the production of plutonium. The information is presented primarily for reactor operators and is intended as an aid toward better understanding of crucial pile conditions, as a training guide for new personnel, and as a source of subject matter for group discussion.
