Description

This report is concerned with nature and scope of the technical services to be rendered and the general plan proposed for operation of Building 3525, High Radiation Level Examination Laboratory (HRLEL). The role of postirradiation examination in implementing the over-all task of irradiation testing for various programs under way at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the importance of this effort to the United States reactor development program re stressed. The shielded-cell complex with provisions for remote decontamination, hot-equipment storage, and maintenance is described, as well as other supporting activities which are incorporated into the facility. The proposed technical … continued below

Description

This report is concerned with nature and scope of the technical services to be rendered and the general plan proposed for operation of Building 3525, High Radiation Level Examination Laboratory (HRLEL). The role of postirradiation examination in implementing the over-all task of irradiation testing for various programs under way at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the importance of this effort to the United States reactor development program re stressed. The shielded-cell complex with provisions for remote decontamination, hot-equipment storage, and maintenance is described, as well as other supporting activities which are incorporated into the facility. The proposed technical functions include general observation, mensuration, nondestructive testing, burnup and induced-activity measurements, fission-gas sampling and analysis, corrosion evaluation and related measurements, disassembly and cutup, metallographic examination, mechanical-property determinations, and x-ray diffraction analyses. Equipment design and operational features to improve detection and measurement of selected properties in radioactive materials are described, also. The current status on design, procurement is presented along with a forecast of future of future needs. The mode of operation, manpower requirements; and management of the facility are discussed.
