Aqueous Processes for Dissolution of Uranium-Molybdenum Alloy Reactor Fuel Elements

Description: Methods for dissolving unirradiated uranium-molybdenum alloy reactcr fuels in nitric acid, nitric acid--ferric nitrate, and nitric acid-- phosphoric acid solutions were studied on a laboratory scale. Flowsheets based on the results propose dissolution of alloys containing 3% molybdenum in boiling 6 M HNO/ sub 3/ to yield stsble solutions that are 0.6 M in uranium and 3 to 4 M in nitric acid. The uranium can then be easily decontaminated and recovered in a conventional Purex-type tributyl phosph… more

Argonne National Laboratory Chemical Engineering Division Summary Report: July, August, September 1960

Description: 9 : : 7 : 7 9 : 5 5 ? 5 9 G -- 8 ; 8 ; = -activity levels of the melt-refining process for EBR-II core fuel was completed. An experiment was also completed on the evolution of fission- product krypton and xenon from an irradiated fuel pim as it was heat to a temperature above the melting point. In tests of alternate materials for use in a meltrefining furnace, a fibrous potassium titanate grain retainer was found to be a very effective heat insulator, but to have less strength than nigid Fibenf… more

Artificial cooling of the Columbia River by dam regulation, 1960

Description: This report discusses benefits in an increase in the flow of water from the lower depths of the Grand Coulee Dam which was used to lower river temperature at HAPO. A net average daily reduction of over 1.2{degree}C resulted at HAPO with a peak of 2.7{degree}C. The Net Production gain from temperature change was 6910 MWD and the Cost of Control was: Grand Coulee Charges $3,120.00, and other (Estimated) 6,880.00 for a total of $10,00.00.

Atomic and molecular collision cross sections of interest in controlled thermonuclear research

Description: A graphical compilation is presented of atomic and molecular cross sections of interest to controlled thermonuclear research. The cross sections are shown, as a function of energy, for collision processes involving molecular ion dissociation, charge exchange, excitation, ionization, photoionization, scattering, energy loss, and recombination. Pertinent nuclear cross sections are also included. A bibliography is given covering the literature since 1950. (auth)

Atomic Energy Levels in Crystals

Description: Report discussing discrete energy levels observed within certain crystals which are due to perturbations of energy levels of the free ion by an electrostatic field arising from the crystal lattice. The analytic procedures for determining the field from the charge configuration are given, and the resulting fields are classified according to their symmetry. After a general survey of group-theoretical ideas, the applicable groups are analyzed in detail, and characters appropriate for both integral… more

The Attenuation of Natural Environmental Radiation by an Automobile

Description: Report presenting a large number of measurements of natural environmental radiation in various parts of the United States using a 20-liter air filled polyethylene-walled ionization chamber at atmospheric pressure. The ionization current was measured with a vibrating reed electrometer connected as a continuously reading voltmeter driving a pen recorder" (p. 1).

B and D downcomer prototype data

Description: Available pressure data on the B and D downcomers and approach piping is tabulated herein. All readings were taken with an air bubbler system; readings given in psi were taken on a Bourdon-type pressure-vacuum gauge, readings given in inches of water were read on an oil-filled manometer. In each case, fluctuations occurred and the mean value was estimated by eye. Data are presented as a function of flow rate and temperature.

B-Plant fission product flowsheets. Part 1

Description: B-Plant is currently being evaluated for use as an integrated fission product plant operating in conjunction with the Purex Plant and a waste calcination system. If the forecasted demands for fission products should increase to rates exceeding present capabilities and if private enterprise continues to remain outside the recovery field, present budget plans are to develop the use of B-Plant in three phases. In Phase 1, the B-Plant canyon would be activated and provisions made for preparing and … more

Barytes Concrete for Radiation Shielding: Mix Criteria and Attenuation Characteristics

Description: Concrete mix design criteria, based on existing theories of proportioning and specifically oriented toward the solution of radiation shielding problems, were developed. Effects of aggregate gradation, cement-to- aggregate ratio, and water content were examined. A barytes concrete, designed according to these criteria, was thoroughly investigated in the Lid Tank Shielding Facility. Relative effectivenesses of dry aggregates, aggregates plus cement, and cured concrete were compared through therma… more
