Calculation of Effect of Fuel Burnup on Fuel and Poison Distributions and on Flux Distribution in the Marine Reactor

Description: The changes in fuel and poison distributions and the changes in flux shape which accompany the consumption of fuel are studied. The technique employed is a perturbation calculation based on a one-velocity group treatment of the neutrons. The geometry is a spherical core surrounded by an infinite reflector. The programming forms for the IBM-650 which performs the computations using the Wolontis interpretative system are included. Two sample calculations were worked out using the code described a… more

A Fluoride Fuel In-Pile Loop Experiment

Description: An inconel loop circulating fluoride fuel (62 1/2 make [unintelligible] NaF, 12 1/2 make [unintelligible] ZrF4, 25 make [unintelligible] UF4, 92 [unintelligible] enriched) was operated at 1485°F with a temperature difference of about 35°F in the Low Intensity Test Reactor for 645 hr. For 475 hr of this time the reactor was at full power, and fission power generation in the loop was 2.7 kw, with a max length power density of 0.4 kw/cc. The total volume of fuel was 1290 cc (5.o kg [unintelligible… more

Cracks in HRT Flange Bolts and Ferrules

Description: When it was discovered that two HRT flange bolts of a lot of 16 spares contained serious cracks, a program was launched to (1) determine the cause for the cracking, and (2) find methods for non-destructive testing the remainder of the 672 bolts shipment, a large portion of which had been installed in the HRT. Concurrently, inspection of 8 ferrules removed from an HRT flange revealed hairline cracking in 4 of them. Magnaglo, a magnetic particle inspection method using a fluorescent dye, proved t… more

Determination of Submicron Particle Sized by an Activation Analysis - Centrifugation Method

Description: The feasibility of determining particle sizes in the submicron range by employing an activation analysis - centrifugation method has been demonstrated. It is believed that this method is now applicable to the analysis of thorium oxide for submicron particles. The same techniques are, in most instance, usable in determining particle sized in other sample materials.

Catalysts for Recombination of Radiolytic Gases Over Thorium Oxide Slurries

Description: Catalysts for use in recombining the gases produced by the radiolytic decomposition of water in thorium oxide slurries under neutron irradiation were investigated in out-of-pile tests using stoichiometric mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen. Most favorable results were obtained with a molybdenum oxide catalyst. Satisfactory rate also were attained with palladium and silver oxides. Copper, nickel, vanadium and chromium compounds were less effective.

Uranium Recovery for Spent Fuel by Dissolution in Fused Salt and Fluorination

Description: A promising nonaqueous process for the recovery of uranium from spent fuel elements is under development at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This process consists of dissolution of the fuel element in a fluoride melt by hydrofluorination at 600 to 700°C, direct fluorination with fluorine for the production and volatilization of UF6, with further decontamination of the product UF6 from fission product activity being secured in a NaF absorption-desorption step. Good decontamination is obtained in t… more

Reactor Irradiation of Thorium and Uranium Oxides Slurries

Description: Thorium and thorium-uranium oxide slurries were irradiation in the Low Intensity Test Reactor (LITR) at temperatures up to 300C in small stirred autoclaves. Stirring was accomplished by means of an electromagnetically operated lunger. Stirrer operations was monitored suing an oscilloscope. Relative slurry viscosities were determined both in and out-of-pile using calibration curves of apparent viscosity versus stirrer rise time. Post-irradiation examination of selected slurries indicated no gros… more

The Chemical Processing of Two-Region Aqueous Homogenous Reactors

Description: A promising scheme for the chemical processing of a thorium breeder reactor of the two-region aqueous homogeneous type consists of the following operations: concentration of insoluble fission and corrosion products from the core system into a small volume of fuel solution, combining this slurry with irradiated thorium oxide slurry taken from the blanket, recovery of D2O by evaporation, dissolution of the thorium and uranium in HNO3, and, after a suitable cooling period, recovery of the uranium … more
