CHEMISTRY OF +1 IODINE IN ALKALINE SOLUTION

Description: The iodine species formed either by adding hypochlorite to a basic iodide solution or by adding triiodide to sodium hydroxide, was identified as hypoiodite ion. The absorption spectrum of IO{sup -} was investigated in the wavelength range from 450 m{micro} to 280 m{micro}. The kinetics of the reaction I{sup -} + ClO{sup -} = IO{sup -} + Cl{sup -} was studied spectrophotometrically in alkaline solution. The forward rate law was found to be d(IO{sup -})/dt = k(I{sup -})(ClO{sup -})/OH{sup -}. At … more

Aerodynamic Characteristics of a 45 Degree Swept Wing Fighter Airplane Model and Aerodynamic Loads on Adjacent Stores and Missiles at Mach Numbers of 1.57, 1.87, 2.16, and 2.53

Description: Report discussing tests to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a model of a 45 degree swept-wing fighter airplane and to determine the loads on attached stores and detached missiles. An investigation into aileron-spoiler effectiveness, aileron hinge moments, and the effects of wing modifications of aerodynamic characteristics was also carried out at various Mach numbers. Results are presented, but caution is provided in regards to extrapolating results from the model onto a full-scale … more

In-reactor corrosion of X-8001 and 1245 aluminum: Analysis of data from PT IP-42A

Description: Failures of standard fuel element jackets (1245 aluminum alloy) after relatively short Hanford reactor exposures are occurring at high reactor power levels. Metallographic examination of fuel element jackets from short exposure ruptures shows the cause of failure to be rapid intergranular corrosion. This type of attack has been reproduced in laboratory tests by exposure to water at temperatures above 200 C, or to steam at temperatures higher than 300 C. Flow disruptions due to misalignment of t… more

System curves for 100-K water plant expansion pump analysis

Description: Modifications to the 100-K water plant will be made, under Project CG-775, to increase total process water flow rates to 175,000 gpm or greater. Included in the modifications will be the installation of new pump impellers for the primary and secondary process water pumps located in the 190-K Buildings.

Avoidance of bulk temperature limits 105-D and F

Description: With higher power levels and probably higher river temperatures, the forthcoming warm water season is expected to impose bulk outlet temperature limits, with consequent production losses, on all Hanford reactors to an even greater extent than last year. The problem has received the attention of a number of management and engineering personnel, but the basis for this study was a letter originating in the Production Operation suggesting two alternate schemes for increasing the flow of process wat… more

Beam hole flux monitors

Description: The octant monitors are an improvement over the early sub-pile flux monitors, but they still do not monitor the flux in the active zone of the reactor. Chambers located within the pile active zone would give the desired information but the inpile environment is too severe to allow a reasonable life for these chambers. A beam hole monitor is suggested to provide the desired flux monitoring. The problem of reactor flux monitoring is discussed. The beam hole monitors have the advantage of providin… more

Production Test IP-168-A, Long term corrosion monitoring and evaluation of operating limits for I & E charges -- C-Reactor

Description: The performance of I & E fuel elements under the original tests{sup 1} was such that they are now being charged at C Reactor on a production basis. Data obtained from the original test, however, were not sufficient to indicate long term corrosion effects of the use of these elements, nor to accurately define their operating characteristics. It is the intent of this test, therefore, to provide for long term corrosion monitoring in tubes charged with and without water-mixing pieces; and to obtain… more

Composition of Purex dissolver off-gas

Description: The composition of dissolver off-gas was determined for seven different dissolvings of uranium in nitric acid (both with one and two dissolvers in operation) at irregular intervals during February, March, and April, 1958. Samples were taken at the Purex 293-A facility absorber inlet, scrubber inlet, and scrubber discharge. The absorber was operated with and without reflux, and the scrubber was operated with water or with approximately 10% sodium hydroxide. This memorandum describes the sampling… more

Proposal for irradiation of uranium swelling capsule

Description: To date, no data is available on the swelling rates of unrestrained unalloyed uranium rods operating at 450--630C core temperature and 250--350C surface temperature. These temperature ranges are of extreme interest in the Hanford fuel element development program. To obtain information on the effect of cladding restraint, exposure, and the above temperatures, on uranium swelling rates, a series of experiments is being designed for irradiation in Hanford reactors. The experimental assembly consis… more

Bulk outlet temperature limits and increased reactor power levels

Description: In a recent report, means of circumventing the present bulk temperature limits are suggested. These have definite merit but do not present an over-all picture of the problem. Therefore, this bulk temperature limit is reviewed in order to place the problem in its full perspective. A program of action is suggested that should lead to: Revised operating conditions and process piping to obtain higher power levels at the same bulk outlet temperature; The completion of production tests to permit high… more

Slug temperature after H{sub 2}O stoppage

Description: On the basis of numerous rough calculations it has generally been assumed that if the water flow to a tube were to stops while pile operation continued. The tube central temperature would increase in a matter of seconds to dangerously high values. In several seconds the water around the central slugs would flash to steam, shortly thereafter the aluminum cans would melt and this would give good contact between the slug and the tube which would quickly melt. The bare uranium would react with the … more
