An evaluation of the Weldon Spring Feed Preparation and Sampling Plant

Description: A description of the new Weldon Spring Feed Preparation and Sampling Plant for uranium concentrates is given. Prior to the startup of this plant the auger to be later installed was used in an evaluation program to test reliability for representative sampling and uniformity both within drums and between drums of various concentrates. Results of this program were used as a reference for the sampling plant evaluation which involved successive auger and mechanical sampling of a series of lots of se… more

Pressure Balance in a Toroidal Pinch

Description: Abstract: In the study of a linear pinch, use of the equation of pressure balance has proven to be a powerful method of analyzing data taken with a magnetic probe. The toroidal pinch, however, is a geometrically more complicated object, and the use of the pressure balance equations is not so clean cut. It is the object of this note to analyze the pressure balance equations for a torus to the point where they might prove useful in interpreting probe data.

100-N temporary construction line considerations

Description: Present thinking and planning appears to be developing from the following factors as concern the 13.8 KV temporary construction power limit. 1. It is understood that the present intent is to supply 100-N operating requirements from a single stub source in the 230 KV loop. 2. The original thoughts were to obtain construction power over a 13.8 KV line from 151-D substation. 3. Construction load requirements are now less than originally planned since steam has been substituted for electrical drive… more

Three Dimensional Flux Control

Description: Recent correlations of slug rupture data have indicated that the failure rate increases markedly with specific slug power. After the fact flux traverses have shown that a large share of the ruptures have occurred in conjunction with flux peaks significantly higher than normally expected. If more complete in-core flux information were available, it is expected that a major portion of the ruptures could be shown as having been caused by abnormally high flux peaks. However, at present.there is nei… more

Production test IP-165-C continuous monitoring of front-to-rear flux balance, Final report

Description: Nuclear reactors which contain a significantly large volume operating at or near the same flux level are subject to oscillations of the maximum flux from one region of the reactor to another. To control these flux movements it is necessary to know the location of the flux ``peaks`` and ``valleys`` and the rate of change of the flux at these points. Existing monitoring instruments readily present only a two-dimensional picture of the flux distribution within the reactor; the front-to-rear distri… more

Full reactor-E-N-load-review of the hazards from a chemical viewpoint

Description: chemical Research and Development Operation was contacted by R. Nilson of Irradiation Processing Department in order to obtain an analysis from a chemical viewpoint of the worst credible accident to a full E-N reactor loading. This analysis would be used to present to the ACRS directly or would be abstracted to prepare a supplementary report. The primary purpose of this report is to present an analysis of the chemical behavior of an E-N loading in the event of the sudden loss of coolant to the … more

Calculations of buildup of plutonium isotope and burnout of U{sup 235} in 1.44% U{sup 235} enriched uranium

Description: In order to investigate the rupture stability of uranium elements irradiated at power generations per unit length larger than those encountered in natural uranium fuel elements, three partial columns of 1.44% U{sup 235} enriched, internally-externally cooled, uranium elements were irradiated in PT-IP-1-A. After discharge and examination of the fuel elements 25 pieces (182.5 pounds) of this metal were available for special analysis of U{sup 235} burnout and plutonium content. The average exposur… more

Summary of information for U.K. -- Information request on gamma flux monitor

Description: Summarized herein is the available information on the subject, ``Reactor Gamma Flux Monitors.`` Apparently, a misunderstanding exists between the U.K. representatives and the related information presented by Dr. Nilson at the Argonne meeting July 24 and 25th. Dr. Nilson`s reference at the US/UK meeting was to the use of gamma-compensated neutron detection chambers at Hanford. Such chambers have been designed and used in one old reactor for a short period as a prototype for a detector for the oc… more

Production Test IP-98-I revised tube charge pattern for graphite annealing: Interim Report

Description: Graphite shrinkage of 0.60 inches (approximately 30 per cent) has been observed at F Reactor in the region of maximum graphite distortion. A reduction of graphite distortion at B Reactor of 0.60 inches in the top-center and 0.32 inches in the top-far region also has been observed. Analysis of the vertical traverse data indicates that continued graphite annealing with resultant decrease in graphite distortion might be anticipated although perhaps at a reduced rate. No significant detrimental eff… more

I&E Depleted Uranium Fuel Element Ruptures Experienced Under PT-IP-132-AC

Description: Beginning in February, 1958, a sufficient quantity of seven-inch dip canned I & E depleted uranium fuel elements was prepared for irradiation to produce eleven kilograms of plutonium, containing at least twenty per cent of the Pu-240 isotope, as authorized by the Atomic Energy Commission. Subsequently, eighty-four columns in C reactor were partially charged with the finished depleted fuel under PT-IP-132-AC. To date, ten depleted ruptures have been sustained, after being irradiated six to eight… more

K-Reactor water plant analysis

Description: The reliability of the K-Reactor water plants has been reviewed by Research and Engineering personnel; this study augments a brief analysis of the KW generator failures incident given in my letter of October 6, 1958. Our attention has been directed largely to ascertaining the requirements of the system, the consequences of possible component failures, giving general assessment of the primary features upon which reliability depends and identifying potential improvements which would increase reli… more
