Waste Management Program: Chemical Processing Department

Description: During the 18-year history of Hanford operations, a high degree of safety has been provided at reasonable cost by the storage of high-activity liquid wastes in underground tanks, by the percolation of low-activity liquid wastes (principally water) through the soil to the ground water, and by the adsorption or filtration of radioactive materials from gaseous effluents prior to their discharge to the atmosphere. Studies of the Hanford area indicate that current practices could be continued almost… more

Draft of physics sections to 100-N technical manual

Description: The information presented is a collection of most of the physics information available for the New Production Reactor. The details of some of the physics information, particularly those dealing with exposure and temperature effects, are by no means to be considered the final word since there has been no experimental verification of these effects. However, the gross physics characteristics described are felt to be reasonable representations of the expected physics behavior of N Reactor and shoul… more

Engineering review of stainless steel clad thermocouple elements

Description: To evaluate the crudding characteristics of ammonium hydroxide conditioned coolant it is necessary to use a thermocouple element. The present design has accentuated structural integrity, reliability and constant heat flux. A radical departure from past designs was made by selecting a stainless steel cladding and enriched ceramic fuel. Three thermocouples are inserted in the cladding to increase the reliability. By the use of two thermocouple elements it will be possible to obtain important prel… more

Property evaluation of plutonium sheet used in capacitor discharge studies

Description: At the request of Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, four plutonium strips 0.050 inches thick, 0-50 inches in width and 6 inches in length have been examined by metallographic, chemical, X-ray, density and dilatometric methods. The data obtained will help calibrate high energy electrical discharge equipment used to rapidly heat plutonium.

Warp failure of a thirty-six inch long uranium 2 wt % zirconium alloy tubular fuel element, PT-IP-250-A (RM-568). Final report

Description: The N-Reactor will be charged with tubular fuel elements consisting of two components. Both components, an outer tube with a concentric inner tube, have a uranium core, coextruded with a Zircaloy-2 cladding. The testing in support of N-Reactor fuels has been conducted in the experimental loops in the K-East Reactor. Although the process tubes in the KER loops are smaller than the proposed N-Reactor process tubes, the test loops operate at the water temperatures and pressures that will exist in … more

Status Report No. 4 on Clinch River Study

Description: The status of radioactive contamination of the Clinch and Tennessee River systems from Nov. 1961 to April 1962 is reviewed. Data are included from studies on the fate of radioactive materials discharged to the Clinch River by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the mechanisms of dispersion of radionuclides released to the river, the direct and indirect hazards of waste disposal practices during the period, an evaluation of the over-all usefulness of this river for radioactive disposal purposes, … more

INVESTIGATIONS OF CARBIDES AS CATHODES FOR THERMIONIC SPACE REACTORS. Quarterly Progress Report for the Period Ending May 31, 1963

Description: Two long-term test cells were fabricated and tested. One was loaded with a 30 UC--70 ZrC sample and the other with a 90 UC--10 ZrC samrple. The rates of vaporization of these samaples in vacuum were determined both in the absence and in the presence of a Ni anode maintained at 983 deg K with an electrode spacirig of 20 mils, hr order to set the baseline values. Measurement of the rates of vaporization of these samples under these conditions in the presence of Cs vapor at a pressure of about 1.8… more

Neutron Thermalization Programs for the IBM 7090

Description: A system of six codes is described that permits the solution of a broad class of problems encountered in the study of neutron thermalization, average cross sections, and spectral models. These programs are all compatible with use on MONITOR for the IBM 7090. The Fortran listings are given. (auth)

Vibration and Shock, Highway Transport Between Santa Susana Mountains and Edwards Air Force Base

Description: A road test, performed on a SNAP 10A mass mockup system, indicated that shock and vibration inputs under actual conditions were not excessive. During the course of travel from the Santa Susana field laboratory to Edwards Air Force Base, and during field trials at Santa Susana, the test system was subjected to only two accelerations exceeding 2 g, and no inputs exceeded 2.4 g. It was concluded that shock and vibration to SNAP systems from highway transporation can be adequately controlled by: se… more

A TRANSFER FUNCTION FOR D.C. OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS WITH GENERALIZED EXTERNAL NETWORKS

Description: A transfer function for d-c operational amplifiers with generalized input and feed-back networks is derived by application of network theory. This transfer function, more general than others in common use, applies to three and four-terminal networks. It contains, as a special case, the well-known transfer function for d-c operational amplifiers with two-terminal networks. Examples are given. (auth)

Fast Analysis System for Bubble Chamber Data

Description: A type of precision measuring instrument, a flying spot digitizer, for the analysis of bubble chamber data is described. When the flying spot encounters a bubble image, it is attenuated typically 25 to 75% depending on the directness of hit and the bubble chamber photographic and operating parameters. The width of the bell-shaped attenuation curve is approximates the sum of the spot and bubble image diameters, or 40 to 50 mu . The high precision of the FSD derives from the fact that it is possi… more

Derivation of Linearized, Difference-Differential Equations for Analog Computer Studies of Gas-Flow Oscillations

Description: The basic heat transfer and flow equations applicable to studies of flow oscillations in NERVA engines are first linearized, then expressed as difference-differential approximations, and finally written in a form suitable for analog computer solution. Block diagrams are presented which illustrate on analog procedure for solving the linearized, difference-differential equations.

CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY DIVISION, CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT SECTION C, PROGRESS REPORT ON SEPARATIONS CHEMISTRY AND SEPARATIONS PROGRESS RESEARCH FOR JANUARY-JUNE 1963

Description: Cesium Recovery from Ores. Adaptation of the phenol extraction (Phenex) process to the recovery of cesium from ore leach liquors continued to show promise. In roast-leach tests, 98 to 99% of the cesium was dissolved from pollucite ore by roasting the ore at 800 deg C with 1.8 parts of Na/sub 2/CO/sub 3/ plus 1.2 parts of NaCl and leaching with water. More than 99% of the cesium was recovered from the leach liquor and separated from other alkali metals by extracting with 4-sec-butyl-2-( alpha -m… more
