200 Area processing rates

Description: Two types of ``feedstock,`` i.e. irradiated uranium and uranium from underground storage, are processed by the 200 Areas. Future operations may add irradiated thorium as a supplementary feed material. In either case, the major portion of future feedstocks is presumed to be in the form of irradiated metal, i.e. uranium and/or thorium, resulting in an almost complete dependence of the required 200 Area processing rate on reactor power levels and metal irradiation history. This document presents c… more

234-5 Building RM line equipment tests, Task III mixer

Description: Several operations that are important to the process as carried out in Task III (Reduction) are performed by the mixer. In order to specify the process certain tests were made to study these operations and are discussed in this report. They include: Mixing Time, Mixer Discharge Rate, Mixer Holdup, and Mixer Capacity. A description of the test, conclusions and recommendations is provided.

Abstract of Paper Presented at the Symposium on Metal ChelateChemistry at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute on April 26, 1952

Description: The essential structural element which differentiates metal chelate compounds from metal coordination compounds, or metal complexes in general, is the existence of some linkage between two or more of the donor atoms in the first coordination sphere of the metal. It is the purpose of the present discussion to examine the influences that this structural factor may have upon the physical and chemical properties of chelate compounds. Examples of well known, simple coordination compounds involving a… more

ALPR PRELIMINARY DESIGN STUDY (ARGONNE LOW POWER REACTOR). PHASE I

Description: A preliminary design study, Phase I of the ALPR . project, has been made in accordance with the Army Reactors Branch specifications for a nuclear ''package'' power plant with a 200 to 260 kw electric and 400 kw heating capacity..The plant is to be installed at the Idaho Reactor Testing Station as a prototype for remote arctic installations. The ''conventiornl'' power plant as well as the exterior reactor components are described, and cost estimates are given. ''Nuclear'' components of the react… more

Analyses and correlations of HAPO rupture experience with natural uranium material

Description: One of the major factors restricting reactor power levels is the incidence of ruptured slugs. The primary purpose in studying ruptures is to determine how reactor operating variables affect rupture rates. With this knowledge reactor operating conditions may be adjusted or controlled in the manner that will optimize reactor production. In addition, knowledge of rupture rate relationships are useful in fuel element development and in overall economic studies of existing and proposed reactors and … more

Analysis of data from IP-56-A-86MT: Evaluation of dimensional stability characteristics of low hydrogen uranium I and E fuel elements

Description: This production test was designed to evaluate the suitability of low hydrogen dingot uranium as routine process material. Nine tubes of I and E fuel elements (6 dingot, 3 ingot) with 32 fuel elements in each tube, have recently been discharged at the C Reactor and this document contains the results of analyses made on the dimensional stability properties of this material.

An analysis of the suitability of various coring patterns for inclusion in ``C`` Reactor

Description: Preliminary meetings on coring of the graphite have been held with interested parties of the Technical and Production Divisions at which time the advantages and problems of coring were discussed. The advantages and the problems which must be surmounted in order to core have been presented to the working committee. A study of the means of accomplishing coring has been made considering only the central and maximum fringe coring. It is important that the minimum and maximum coring be established a… more

An Analysis of Vortex Tubes for Combined Gas-Phase Fission-Heating and Separation of the Fissionable Material

Description: In order to achieve the high exhaust gas temperatures, which are desirable if the full potential of nuclear fission as an energy source for rocket propulsion is to be realized, it seems essential that the fissionable material be maintained in a gaseous mixture with the propellant. It is then necessary to separate the fissionable material from the propellant before discharging the latter, since the loss of fissionable material is prohibitive otherwise. This report presents an analytical evaluati… more
