Aerodynamic Re-Entry Analysis. Task 2. Thermoelectric Generator Summary Report

Description: An analytical trajectory and aerothermodynamic analysis of a satellite containing a Task 2 thermoelectric generator was completed. A 300-statute mile circular polar orbit was used for this analysis and the launch was assumed to be from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Results of this study show that upon natural decay from a successful mission, the radio-cerium fuel will burn up in space at high altitude, thus only a very minor amount of radio cerium will be released to the stratosphere. A complete a… more

REACTOR FUEL WASTE DISPOSAL PROJECT-PERMEABILITY OF ROCK SALT AND CREEP OF UNDERGROUND SALT CAVITIES. Final Report

Description: A study was made of two problems of salt-cavity storage, namely, seepage of wastes out of formations and closure of cavities due to plastic flow of salt. The results indicate that both problems are negligible; bedded salt is more impermeable than dome salt. Kerosene was found to be nonreactive with dome salt whereas brine solutions showed some interaction. It is concluded that storage of radioactive wastes in salt cavities is feasible. (D.L.C.)

Development and Evaluation of High-Temperature Tungsten Alloys : Final Report, October 1, 1960 - September 30, 1960

Description: This report summarizes investigations taken between October 1, 1959, to September 30, 1960 with the objectives of developing high-tungsten alloys which are readily fabricable into massive and complex shapes and which possess adequate strength for operation at temperatures up to 2000 F. Within this report, studies are divided into two main categories: alloy development and material fabrication techniques

Loading and operating conditions for NIN-1 and NIE-1 elements in the KER loops under PT-IP-377-A

Description: This document provides the loading and operating conditions for eight 16-inch or five 24-inch elements, either natural NIN-1 or .947% enriched NIE-1, in any of the four KER loops. The loadings are tabulated; operating conditions for either charge in KER 2, 3, 4, or 1 are given in figures.

PT-IP-385-C, E-N reactivity matching measurement

Description: The projected E-N load at H Reactor will require a complete change in the type of charge placed in most flattened zone process tubes. Objective of this test is to determine the reactivity of the proposed E-N charge relative to the known natural uranium charge reactivity.

Discussion-preliminary review of the safety aspects of the crossunder line, Project CG-884. Volume 1

Description: In order to reduce both charge-discharge shutdown time and the number of manhours of radiation exposure, Project CGI-884 is being completed at the B, D, DR, F and R Reactors. This consists essentially of installing a large drain line at the bottom of one rear reactor riser. This drain line passes to a control valve and then to the effluent line beyond the downcomer. This system by-passes the crossover downcomer part of the effluent system and eliminates the need for intermittent rear crossheade… more

K Reactor: HCR sleeves

Description: Irradiation Processing Department opinions regarding HCR sleeves. It is believed that Zr-2 would be a satisfactory sleeve material providing it is limited to maximum service temperatures the order of 400 degrees C. Both Inconel and a 300 series stainless steel are believed possibilities for uncooled sleeve materials, with Inconel our preference. Beryllium, in virtue of its outstanding nuclear properties and probably satisfactory chemical and mechanical properties, warrants consideration on a pi… more

Revisions to variable goal exposure plans for production type fuel elements

Description: The exposures calculated from these plans are designed to maximize plant return on the basis that the only restraint on metal usage is that imposed by the economics of the plutonium production process and associated uranium cycle. When metal throughput in limited by ex-reactor physical capabilities to a level lower than the unrestrained requirements, exposures higher than those recommended in this document would be indicated. In essence then, these plans represent minimum economical exposures f… more
