Research and Engineering Operation, N-Reactor Department monthly record report

Description: The reactor was manually scrammed from 3870 Mw on January 4 due to a rupture suspect. The failure was subsequently identified as a fretting type on the inner surface of a single tube test fuel element. The evidence indicates that a buggy spring support vibrating against the inner spring of the fuel caused the clad perforation. The remaining column of single tube fuel was discharged. The reactor operated at 3730 Mw until January 7, when the loss of instrument air supply caused the reactor to scr… more

Contamination control: Columbia River monthly report, January 1966

Description: It is the purpose of this report to present data obtained from the routine reactor effluent radioactivity monitoring program as well as the results obtained from the research and development program directed toward the reduction of effluent radioactivity. Samples of the effluent from each reactor are obtained each weekday during operation and analyzed for P{sup 32}, As{sup 76}, Np{sup 239}, and Cr{sup 51}.

Gamma spectrum, count rate, and dose rate measurements of the Columbia riverbank from Vernita to Sacajawea

Description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate radiological conditions that exist on the riverbank of the Columbia River. Included was a comparative study of the suitability of three instruments to measure the dose rates. These instruments were a NaI (T1) scintillation counter normally used for aerial monitoring, a bioplastic scintillation counter normally used as a road monitor, and a portable 40 liter ionization chamber normally used to measure very low gamma dose rates. The selection of represent… more

Description and Analysis of the IBM 2741

Description: The IBM 2740 and 2741 are IBM's versions of a printer-keyboard designed primarily for point to point communication. The 2740 is the more glorious one with numerous options. The. 2741 is as simple as possible with just one major option. Neither of these units approaches the complexity or number of options available on a 1050 system.
