PRTR second generation shim assembly
From introduction: "This document discusses the design, fabrication, assembly, and testing of a second generation shim rod assembly, and testing of a second generation shim rod assembly prototype for use in the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor."
Geophysical Seismic Evaluation Study at Hanford
From introduction: "In June, 1963, a geophysical research program was conducted at Hanford to determine the feasibility and desirability of using seismic methods in geohydrologic studies. Detection and delineation were desired of seven different geological features that in some sites affect the movement of liquid radioactive wastes discharged to the ground."
INDEX: a Computer Program for Indexing X-ray Diffraction Powder Patterns
From introduction: "...a logical system has been developed to yield rapidly the indexing of a given powder pattern by using an electronic computer."
Static Tests of Corrosion Inhibitors for Aluminum and Carbon Steel
The experiments described in this report were performed for two purposes: (1) to find a chemical, or combination of chemicals, that would be effective for inhibiting corrosion of steel in static portions of the Hanford water systems, and (2) as screening tests to select candidate mixtures for further testing to replace sodium dichromate as the inhibitor of aluminum and steel corrosion in the Hanford single-pass reactor cooling water.
Fast Flux Test Facility Studies Progress Report: April 1965
From abstract: "...limited study work was performed on the conceptual design of the proposed fast flux test facility and information was obtained in important areas of supporting technology."
Metallurgy Research Operation: Quarterly Progress Report, January - March 1965
Quarterly progress report on a project to test the radiation effects on metallurgy.
A Sequence for Predicting Waste Transport by Ground Water
From introduction: "This paper describes a sequence for analyzing the effects of ground water flow on waste transport in natural soils."
Quarterly Progress Report, Research and Development Activities Fixation of Radioactive Residues: April-June 1965
Introduction: "This progress report is the twenty-sixth in a series presenting research and development activities in the field of radioactive wastes. Experimental work charged to programs other than those of the Division of Reactor Development is included for general interest and completeness; such work is identified in the headings."
Dibutyl Carbitol Solvent Extraction of Polonium-210 from Nitric Acid Solutions of Irradiated Bismuth
Abstract: "A continuous countercurrent solvent extraction process utilizing dibutyl carbitol as the extractant has been developed for separating 210Po from large amounts of associated bismuth. Both laboratory and pilot plant data demonstrate the process is a suitable headend step in recovery of kilogram quantities of 210Po. Typically, the extraction process recovers over 98% of the 210Po, essentially free from bismuth (Bi DF>1500), in a dilute HNO3 solution suitable as a starting material for final concentration and purification steps."
Nitride Fuels for Fast Breeder Reactors: Fuel Cycle Considerations
This report follows a study that was made to develop comparative fuel cycle costs for nitride and carbide fuels in a 1000 MWe sodium-cooled fast-breeder reactor.
An Ultrasonic System for Testing Isotope Heat Capsules
Introduction: This report describes a program to develop a nondestructive (ultrasonic) tester and testing procedure to perform integrity tests on isotope heat source containers. The increased application of isotope heat sources has brought more attention to the engineering problems encountered during fabrication. One of the most important of these problems is insuring the isotope containment during the long unattended periods of use. To determine the integrity of the heat source container, a nondestructive testing procedure must be adopted to test each heat source after fabrication.
