Scintillation Spectrometer Measurements of Capture Gamma Rays From Natural Elements: First Quarterly Report

Description: From abstract: "The objective of this program is to make a compilation of neutron capture gamma ray spectra of the naturally occurring elements, covering both the low and high energy region, using Na I(TI) scintillation detectors...During this phase of the program a detection system, together with its associated shielding was constructed and tested."

Radiation damage study on the lithium hydride SNAP shield

Description: Radiation damage may occur to the lithium hydride shields as a result of the reaction Li{sup 6}(n, {alpha})H{sup 3}. There is evidence in the literature indicating both the existence and absence of radiation damage to the SNAP shields. It is believed that there is a high probability that there will be damage and that it will adversely affect the properties of the shield. This damage may take the form of: (1) volume expansion of the hybrids, (2) void formation within the hybrids, and (3) gas pre… more

NPR hazards review: Volume 1, Phase 1: Production only

Description: This document is designed to present as complete a review of the hazards associated with the operation of the N Reactor as is feasible at this time. Where completeness is not possible the problems are indicated and probable paths of solution are suggested. Background material is provided to put the hazards in context. Supplements to this report will be issued when the additional data and information required for completeness are obtained. This review is organized into two parts. The first part … more

Cesium-137 as an index of the nuclear materials content of coating waste

Description: An experimental program was carried out to evaluate the validity of using the cesium-137 content of coating waste as an indirect measure of the uranium and/or plutonium content. A small number of large volume samples and a large number of normal (small volume) samples of Redox and Purex coating waste were used for the investigations. The distribution of cesium, uranium, and plutonium throughout the two-phase system was determined. a comparison of uranium by direct assay and uranium by cesium-13… more

Current status of H Reactor total control

Description: This document presents the total control aspects of the current blanket and central zone E-N loading at H Reactor based on the calculational parameters in Physics of E-N Load compared to Natural Uranium Load at H Reactor, D.I. Monnie, May 11, 1961. The original charge for the E-N core load at H Reactor, (19.37 in. E to 1 in. N) was found to be more reactive than desirable for maximum production efficiency. Therefore a less reactive E to N ratio (18.14 in. E to 1 in. N) has now replaced the orig… more
