PROCESSES FOR RECOVERY OF URANIUM AND THORIUM FROM GRAPHITE-BASE FUEL ELEMENTS. PART II

Description: Laboratory-scale tests on methods for recovering uranium and thorium from graphite-base reactor fuel elements are reported. The 90% HNO/sub 3/ process, which involves simultaneous disintegration and leaching in 21 M HNO/sub 3/, is applicable to all fuel elenments which do not contain coated fuel particles. Leaching of irradiated (0.001% burnup) fuels containing 3 and 12% uranlum recovered approximates 99.3 and 99.9%, respectively, of the uranium in two 4-hr leaches with boiling acid. The graphi… more

Primary Piping Static Test Design Request

Description: It is requested that a design be initiated for the primary piping static test. This test is necessary to provide information as to the reliability of the pipe subjected to reactor operating conditions. The test conditions are as follows: temperature - 2000 F (isothermal), pressure effective - 42 psi, and test time - 10,000 hours. It will be necessary to test two sizes of pipe as shown on the preliminary piping layout (2.250-inch O.D. x .095-inch wall and 3 1/2 SCH. 10 pipe). The test specimens … more

Request for Design of a Fuel Element Assembly Soak Test

Description: It is requested that the design be completed for a full-scale fuel element soak test. The test assembly must be designed to permit the fuel element test specimen to be submerged in a lithium bath under a pressure of 60 psi. The maximum temperature of the lithium is to be 2000 F. A total of four test units will be required to complete the test program. Two specimens will be exposed to a thermal cycle between 2000 F and 1400 F with the remaining two specimens being exposed to a thermal cycle betw… more

A Laboratory Gas-Circulating Pump

Description: A pump was developed for pumping carbon dioxide in a closed loop without introducing impurities. This pump will give flow rates of up to 3 liters/min and will develop a working pressure of over 70 mm Hg. No wear was observed after 2000 hr of testing. It is felt that this pump is more desirable for this application than those developed by other experimenters for two reasons: relatively inexpensive construction of the pump and the associated electronic circuit and the low coefficient of friction … more

Neutron Dosimetry in and Around Human Phantoms By Use of Nuclear Track Emulsion

Description: The power of nuclear track research emulsion as a fast neutron dosimeter is examined in the exposure of a human phantom to PuBe neutrons. Semiautomatic track scanning and high-speed data analysis obviate the major disadvantages of this dosimeter, and allow the following basic information to be obtained without a serious cost in time: the rulative proton recoil energy spectrum, the absolute differential proton track den sity spectrum, and the average proton recoil energy at various locations in … more
