Vacuum Casting of Aluminum-Silicon Coating on Tuballoy Uranium . Final Report on a Part of p.A. No. 390-Ml-54-S f.s. 17

Description: Welding is used to fabricate titanium and titanium-alloy components for air-frames, Jet engines, missiles, and chemical equipment. Annong the most important considerations in adapting titanium and its alloys to welded components is to use proper welding procedures and to select alloys that have the required weld-joint properties. The chemical and metallurgical characteristics that affect the selection of welding processes and alloys are discussed. Also, information is presented on surface prepa… more

Waste disposal: Failure of T Plant underground metal waste line from Section 9

Description: On June 23, 1947, a hole was discovered in the earthen fill near the T Plant R-19 stairwell directly above the path followed by the underground waste lines from the canyon. Jetting of all canyon wastes to the 241 Buildings was stopped and the canyon process shut down. This report discusses repair and characterization procedures for the soils and waste line pipe.

Wind dilution required to reduce to tolerance levels the activity due to xenon and iodine in HEW dissolver off-gases

Description: The radio-active xenon and iodine evolved during the dissolution of the uranium may present a health hazard within certain areas around the base of the stack through which the dissolver off-gases are discharged. Since the concentration of these elements in the uranium metal is directly proportional to the power of the pile* and is related to decay period of the metal in accordance with their half-lifes, the maximum rate of discharge of these elements from the stack at H.E.W. can be estimated fo… more

Xenon and iodine concentrations in the environs of the T and B Plant

Description: A report of seven stack emissions of I-131 at the T and B plants, detailing the relationship between cooling times and dilution factors for the safe emission of the isotope. From the stack sampling, personal exposure limits for an eight and nine hour day are calculated. The effect of atmospheric conditions appears to be negligible, although periods of atmospheric stagnation may have an effect on the I-131 concentration. Environmental effects are minimized by increasing the cooling times of the … more
