Technical Review Report for the Mound 1KW Package Safety Analysis Report for Packaging Addendum No. 1, through Revision b

Description: This Technical Review Report (TRR) documents the review, performed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) staff, at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), on the 'Mound 1KW Package Safety Analysis Report for Packaging, Addendum No. 1, Revision b', dated May 2007 (Addendum 1). The Mound 1KW Package is certified by DOE Certificate of Compliance (CoC) number USA/9516/B(U)F-85 for the transportation of Type B quantities of plutonium heat source material. The safety analys… more

(Critical topics of plasma facing materials/plasma facing component data for the next step fusion devices)

Description: The Unites States-Japan Workshop P-165 brought together approximately 60 scientists and engineers to discuss critical topics of plasma facing materials and components for the next-step fusion device. In addition to the United States and Japanese participants, there were several guest attendees from Europe. The international makeup of the participants greatly enhanced the success of the workshop. The author jointly chaired a workshop session entitled Impact of Neutron Effects to Plasma Facing Ma… more

K Area Hot Test Hole Temperatures

Description: This report details a K area test with the following objectives: find the temperature range within a graphite sample carrier; find the temperature range with a solid graphite bar; find the temperature range with a test hole; determine the temperature difference between the old and new graphite sample boats; compare the temperature of a sample load and a solid bar in the same location; and find the temperature range in which the graphite samples are irradiated in all test holes. Results and conc… more

Contraction rates of H and K reactors

Description: It was found from graphite irradiations that the changes can be described by a growth component and a contraction component, and that the contraction is a linear function of exposure, while the growth is a function of both exposure and temperature which saturated at high exposures, say 3000 MWD/a ton. A graph is included. Contraction rate is determined for KW, KE, and H piles.

REACTIONS OF SODIUM PEROXIDE WITH COMPONENTS OF LEGACY PLUTONIUM MATERIALS

Description: Plutonium oxide (PuO{sub 2}) calcined at >900 C resists dissolution in nitric acid (HNO{sub 3})-potassium fluoride (KF) solutions, a common method for their dissolution. The Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) has developed an alternate method for large samples of PuO{sub 2}-bearing materials using sodium peroxide (Na{sub 2}O{sub 2}) fusion as a pretreatment. The products of the reaction between Na{sub 2}O{sub 2} and PuO{sub 2} have been reported in the literature. As part of the SRNL … more

Effect of ion mass and charge state on transport of vacuum ARC plasmas through a biased magnetic filter

Description: The effect of ion mass and charge state on plasma transport through a 90{sup o}-curved magnetic filter is experimentally investigated using a pulsed cathodic arc source. Graphite, copper, and tungsten were selected as test materials. The filter was a bent copper coil biased via the voltage drop across a low-ohm, ''self-bias'' resistor. Ion transport is accomplished via a guiding electric field, whose potential forms a ''trough'' shaped by the magnetic guiding field of the filter coil. Evaluatio… more

Dynamic and Thermodynamic Behavior of Carboneous and Hydrogen-Bonding Materials

Description: Dissociation behavior of carboneous materials with or without fluorine atoms at pressures (P) of tens of gigapascal (GPa) and temperature (T) at several thousand Kelvin is not so well understood. The main issues are: (a) carbon condensation processes and (b) thermodynamics of hydrogen fluoride (HF) produced from dissociation. Item (a) requires information on (i) the melting line of carbon, (ii) liquid carbon, (iii) stability and energy barrier between graphite and diamond clusters, and (iv) kin… more

Evaluation of anodic films on process tube exteriors

Description: The investigation reported in this document concerns itself with studies of the mechanism of corrosion on the exterior of process tubes and with studies of the protective qualities of anodic films which might prevent corrosion on the exterior of process tubes. Sections of process tubing coated with Aqua-Dag, a colloidal graphite suspension, were included in these tests for comparison purposes as present operating procedures call for the application of Aqua-Dag to the exterior of process tubes f… more

Variation of Diffusion Length with Sigma-Pile Size

Description: The investigation to be described in this paper was one of several undertaken to resolve a curious discrepancy that had arisen in measurements of the diffusion length of graphite. Those diffusion lengths measured with the graphite layups of 100 Area piles were three to six centimeters higher than the value obtained with the Hanford Standard Pile. The fact that the 100 Area structures of the order of 40 ft. X 40 ft. X 30 ft, not including reflector, approximated an infinite medium, whereas sigm… more
