Filling and Emptying Systems, Low-Lift Locks, Arkansas River Project: Hydraulic Model Investigation

Description: Results of a hydraulic model investigation based on locks in the Arkansas River before the construction of additional locks. "Model studies of the filling and emptying system proposed for use at the low-lift locks in the Arkansas project were conducted to confirm the adequacy of the original design hydraulic system, and to develop, if needed, improvements in the system" (p. 2).

The Columbia River Cooling Program CY-1965

Description: The Columbia River Cooling Program basically consists of effecting a reduction in river temperature at the Hanford site during the summer season. The implementation of this program in recent years has been accomplished through the selective and controlled discharge of waste water at Grand Coulee Dam. The purpose of this report is to describe the river cooling program conducted in CY-1965 by Facilities Engineering personnel, and present the program results.

K Reactor uncooled HCR: Equilibrium temperature study

Description: Temperature calculations were made on a proposed design of an uncooled horizonal control rod (HCR) for the K Reactors. The calculations were performed with the aid of a FORTRAN coded heat transfer program for the UNIVAC 1107. The results of the calculations indicate that such a control rod is feasible for.4400 Mw and 5000 Mw operation provided certain precautions are taken. These precautions include assuring good contact between the rod and the graphite in the high flux regions and Providing re… more

NUCLEAR SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF SOME VERY HEAVY ODD-MASS NUCLIDES

Description: The nuclear radiations of nuclides: U{sup 233}, Pu{sup 239}, Bk{sup 243}, Bk{sup 244}, Bk{sup 245}, Bk{sup 246}, Bk{sup 249}, Cf{sup 249}, and Fm{sup 255} were investigated with high-resolution spectrometers. The {alpha}-particle spectra of all nuclides except Bk{sup 249} were measured with 6 mm diameter surface-barrier detectors. Bk{sup 249} {alpha}-particles were analyzed with a double-focusing magnetic spectrograph. The {gamma}-singles were examined with the recently developed Ge(Li) and Si(… more

Abstract -- A description of low temperature hydriding of zircaloy at Hanford

Description: The two K Reactors at the Hanford Plant of the Atomic Energy Commission were retubed in 1963 with ribless Zircaloy process tubes. These tubes, 1.81 inch OD x 0.037 inch wall, were made by tube reducing methods from extruded blooms and were installed without final pickling or autoclaving. These tubes are used with once-through filtered water with a maximum coolant temperature of approximately 110 C. After approximately two years` service, it was discovered that these tubes were absorbing hydroge… more

Experimental design for the preliminary study of geochemical processes

Description: An example of the use of a simple fuctorial design to study the distribution of /sup 134/Cs and/sup 85/Sr between a soil column and solution is reported. In this design, two concentration levels of each of four factors (NaNO/ sub 3/, HNO/sub 3/, KNO/sub 3/, and Ca(NO/sub 3//sub 2/) were combined in all possible combiuations to give a total of 24 combinations. In the case of /sup 134/Cs removal, all of the independent variables were significant over their respective concentration ranges, while w… more
