Oxidation of Neptunium(V) by Vanadium(V)

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "Rate data are presented for the oxidation of neptunium (V) by vanadium (V) in nitric acid." From Summary: "Rates of oxidation of neptunium (V) were determined by a solvent extraction technique based on the difference in distribution coefficients for neptunium (V) and neptunium (VI)."

Recovery of Np237 and Pu238 From Irradiated Neptunium Oxide

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "An ion exchange process was demonstrated for the recovery of Pu238 from irradiated neptunium oxide. Three cycles of anion exchange proved adequate for the removal of fission products and for the separation of the neptunium and plutonium from each other."

Ultrasonic Energy Applied to Aluminum Extrusion Cladding of Tubes

Description: Technical report. From Abstract: "Ultrasonic energy appropriately applied to the die or container of a laboratory-type direct extrusion press effected a marked increase in the free extrusion rate of lead and aluminum billets at a constant extrusion rate. the same results were obtained in extrusion cladding steel tubes with aluminum. Rate increases were generally 100 per cent or greater, and decreases in force were usually within the range of 10 to 20 per cent. Furthermore, the shape and slope o… more

Shearing Irradiated Uranium Plates

Description: From abstract: "Natural uranium plates that were irradiated to 600 and 1500 MWD/T were cut under water by a guillotine-type shear. Irradiation reduced the force required for shearing to 50 per cent of that required for unirradiated uranium. Measurements were made of radioactivity released to treated and untreated water in which the cut sections were stored."

Radioactivity in the Environs of the Savannah River Plant January to July - 1954.

Description: From abstract: "There were significant increases in radioactivity in the environs of the Savanna River Plant during the period from January 1954 to July 1954. All of these increases were relatively small as compared to the maximum permissible concentration. Although fallout from Pacific tests was the main contributor to the increased activity, some of the increase was due to normal Plant operations."

Transformation and Non-Bond Tester for Flat Elements

Description: From abstract: "A composite ultrasonic unit was developed to indicate the size and location of non-bonded areas and the presence of non-transformed regions in flat uranium fuel elements clad with aluminum. A two-dimensional recorder was developed to yield instantaneous, permanent records of the non-bonded areas on electrosensitive paper. Panel lights indicate the presence of non-transformed regions that have not received proper heat treatment. Defects 1/8" in diameter are consistently detected … more

Eddy-Current Inspection Methods : Trip Report - The Dr. Förster Institute, Reutlingen, Germany

Description: Abstract; Test instruments developed at the Dr. Förster Institute, Reutlingen, Germany, were considered for possible application to Savannah River nondestructive inspection problems involving stainless steel and aluminum tubing. None of the equipment can solve these problems without modifications. Several instruments are recommended for further study in connection with their use with aluminum tubing. None will be considered for use with stainless steel at this time."
