HRT Process Flowsheets--Revised Edition

Description: Revised HRT flowsheets are presented. These revisions cover such items as relocation of freezer units on the lines, corrections to the numbering of lines, valves or instruments, and the addition of a few lines in the service areas. The waste and vent system flowsheet was redrawn as two sheets. (C.J.G.)

HRT Reactor Hazards

Description: Several potential hazards that have been recognized and anticipated in the design and fabrication of the pressure vessel in the Homogeneous Reactor Test are discussed. These hazards results from the high operating pressure and temperature of the reactor, the exposure of the reactor vessel material to potential embrittlement and other affects of fast-neutron irradiation, and the need for containment of corrosive flowing liquids. The steps taken in recognition of these hazards are also discussed.… more

THE HRT REFRIGERATING SYSTEM

Description: The HRT refrigeration system was designed to use Freon-11 (CCI3F) as the refrigerant material in the secondary loop. A Van de Graaff irradiation of this material indicated that serious corrosion problems were probable if Freon were used in the proposed metal system. A survey was made of candidate refrigerants, and Amsco 125-82 and triethyl phosphate were selected for irradiation and physical-property determinations. (W.L.H.)

HRT Sampler Development

Description: A prototype sampler for obtaining samples of high radioactive UO2SO4 solution for use in the HRT is presented. It was successfully operated in conjunction with a low pressure water system and a high pressure, high temperature UO2SO4 system.

HRT Source Shield Calculations

Description: Calculations indicate that the proposed shielding arrangement will give a dose rate at the surface of the water tank of about 100 mrem per hr., practically all gammas. This is adequate for transportation and handling, but if the radiation actually proves to be this high, a storage location isolated from normal working areas must be provided. The isolation area need not be large, however, since the calculated dose rate at 10 feet from the shielded sources is only 3.5 mrem pr hr. For the short ti… more

HRT Temperature Measurement System - Issue No. 3

Description: The following temperature measurement tabulation consists of two parts. Part I lists all HRT thermocouples, their location, the junction box thru which the leads pass, and their termination, if on an instrument. Part II lists all temperature read out instruments and their location. A total of 577 thermocouples are listed in this tabulation. The roughly 77,000 ft of wire used in connecting them up cost $6,799. Temperatures are read on 24 instruments. Cost of these was approximately $15,688. Acce… more
