Outer annulus imbalance study: Mark I fuel

Description: Results of an investigation of fuel element outer annulus enthalpy imbalance are reported and analytical results of suggested methods to limit this imbalance are presented. Also included are comparisons of calculated and experimental enthalpy imbalance ratios along with other quantities. Results indicate that tightening fuel tolerances and clearances can substantially reduce the present outer annulus imbalance thereby increasing power capability. A basic pre-requisite to reduction of clearance … more

Study of applications for Hanford produced cobalt-60

Description: Demands for cobalt-60 have been relatively small as long as the principal application were for radiography and gaging. The accumulated production in the entire United STates is less than ten megacuries, although the Hanford plant is capable of producing about 200 megacuries every year using uranium enriched to 0.95 percent, and greater amounts with higher enrichments. Two new developments brighten the prospects for large-scale utilization of cobalt-60. First is the possible use of cobalt-60 as … more
