Heat generation in stored Redox wastes

Description: Fission product activities and heat generated by fission product decay as a function of time, in waste solutions obtained by processing uranium irradiated under the present Hanford schedule, were calculated. From these data, curves showing expected heat evolution in stored Redox Process Wastes, during and following filling of the waste tanks, were prepared assuming various modes of operating the plant and various production rates. Total heat available for evaporation of water from the tanks was… more

The effect of low dose rate irradiation on the swelling of 12% cold-worked 316 stainless steel.

Description: In pressurized water reactors (PWRs), stainless steel components are irradiated at temperatures that may reach 400 C due to gamma heating. If large amounts of swelling (>10%) occur in these reactor internals, significant swelling related embrittlement may occur. Although fast reactor studies indicate that swelling should be insignificant at PWR temperatures, the low dose rate conditions experienced by PWR components may possibly lead to significant swelling. To address these issues, JNC and … more
