Completion Report An Automatic Fuel Element Stamping Machine

Description: This document will be concerned with the design, operation and maintenance of an automatic fuel element stamping machine. In order to take advantage of automatic unloading and length checking at the Acme-Gridley lathes in the 313 Building, automatic stamping of fuel elements is desirable. This, along with the need for a permanent canning line identification, resulted in a request for a machine to automatically stamp HAPO fuel elements on a production basis.

STUDY OF RESONANCES IN THE Σ-π SYSTEM

Description: In order to study resonances in the {Sigma}-{pi} system, we have analyzed reactions in which a {Sigma} hyperon and two or three pions are produced in K{sup -}-p interactions at 1.22 {+-} 0.040 and 1.51 {+-} 0.050 GeV/c incident K{sup -} momentum (i. e., 1895 and 2025 MeV center-of-mass energy), using the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory's 72-in. hydrogen bubble chamber.

PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION FOUND IN AIR AT HANFORD PLUTONIUM FABRICATION FACILITIES

Description: The conventional sampling methods of filtration and impaction are generally utilized in the collection of air samples at Hanford. In addition, a Goetz aerosol spectrometer is available for special studies. Particle-size determinations are made by autoradiographic studies making use of both optical and electron microscopes. A supplementary tool sometimes utilized is the Royco Particle Counter. The study included an analysis of the potential usefulness and the limitations of these air sample stud… more

STAINLESS STEEL WASTES. III. LABORATORY STUDIES OF THE RATE OF REMOVAL OF STAINLESS STEEL IONS BY MERCURY CATHODE ELECTROLYSIS

Description: ABS> The removal rates of iron, nickel, and chromium from synthetic stainless steel waste solutions during electrolysis over a mercury cathode were studied. The loading capacity of the mercury for the stainless steel metals was estimated on the basis of laboratory experiments to be about two% by weight. The laboratory data indicated that, at an electrode potential of --1.80 voits vs S.C.E., 85 ampere-hours per liter of waste removed essentially all of the stainless steel ions from a sulfuric ac… more

B-Plant fission product flowsheets. Part 1

Description: B-Plant is currently being evaluated for use as an integrated fission product plant operating in conjunction with the Purex Plant and a waste calcination system. If the forecasted demands for fission products should increase to rates exceeding present capabilities and if private enterprise continues to remain outside the recovery field, present budget plans are to develop the use of B-Plant in three phases. In Phase 1, the B-Plant canyon would be activated and provisions made for preparing and … more

HEAT-TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS ON A PROPOSED FUEL ASSEMBLY FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GAS COOLED REACTOR. SECTION II FO FUEL-ASSEMBLY HEAT-TRANSFER AND CHANNEL PRESSURE-DROP EXPERIMENT FOR THE EGCR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Description: Heat-transfer data are presented for the Experimental Gas Cooled Reactor Title I seven-rod fuel-assembly design. The effect on heat transfer of (1) the radial location of the outer six rods of the seven-fuel-rod cluster and of (2) the addition of helical-finned spacers at the midpoint of each of the seven fuel rods is discussed. The heattransfer data were obtained to verify preliminary general assumptions pertaining to the heat-transfer characteristics of the seven- rod fuel-assembly design and… more

An Investigation of the Corrosion Resistance of Brazing Alloys for Austenitic Stainless Steel Fuel Elements for Service in 565 F Pressurized Water

Description: Since brazing was the method selected for joining the stainless steel SM- l reactor fuel element, corrosion studies were conducted on various potential brazing alloys to evaluate their resistance under the approximate pressurized- water conditions of the SM-1. The program consisted mainly of testing type 304L stainless steel T'' joints brazed with selected alloys in quiescent, degassed, and deionized autoclaved water at 565 deg F under 1200-psi pressure. In the initial phase of the investigatio… more

Chemical Technology Division, Chemical Development Section B Monthly Progress Report, June-July 1960

Description: The effect of two neutron poisons, baron and cadmium, on the rate of dissolution of high-density 95% ThO/sub 2/-5% UO/sub 2/ pellets in the Zirflex Process was determined. Dissolution of U-10% Mo alloy in boiling HNO/sub 3/ resulted in a precipitation of uranyl molybdates. Air caused greater uranium and thorium losses during decladding of ThO/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ fuel than irradiation. Processing of U-Mo fuel by a Zircex type process is discussed. Two leaches of graphitized fuel with 90% HNO/sub 3/… more

Maritime Gas-Cooled Reactor Program. Reactor Materials Compatibility With Impurities in Helium

Description: Results are presented of an investigation to determine the maximum permissible partial pressure of carbon dioxide that could be tolerated in the Maritime Gas Cooled Reactor system without oxidizing and embrittling niobium and its alloys, and to screen the heat-resistant nickel- and iron-base alloys for resistance to oxidation and carburization by hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. The effect of hydrogen additions on carburization of heatresisting alloys and on the decomposition of c… more

REDUCTION OF CUPRIC OXIDE BY HYDROGEN. II. CONVERSION OF HYDROGEN TO WATER OVER FIXED BEDS

Description: The conditions under which hydrogen could be quantitatively recovered from mixtures of gases by oxidation over fixed beds of CuO were investigated. The conversion of H/sub 2/ to H/sub 2/O by reduction of CuO in fixed beds increased with in- creasing bed length, temperature, hydrogen/argon ratio, and decreasing mesh size of CuO. Residence times required for 99% conversion in a 1- in.-diam. bed were 0.6 and 1.2 sec for 30% hydrogen-70% argon and 10% hydrogen90% argon mixtures, respectively, at a … more

Residual Radiation of the LRL 184-Inch Cyclotron

Description: Residual radioactivity at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory 184-Inch Cyclotron was measured during November 1960. The study was conducted along three principal lines: (1) general survey of radiation levels in the cyclotron vault, (2) activation of foils placed near the cyclotron, and (3) gamma-ray spectra of the cyclotron gap region, including dee structure. Initial radiation levels were less than 8 r/hr which dropped to abcut 10 mr/hr after 48 hr. The observed activities induced in copper foil… more

Study of Low Frequency Molecular Motions in HF, KHF2, KH2F3 and NaH2F3

Description: The spectra of KHF2, KH2F3, NaH2F3, liquid and solid HF were measured between 1200 and 30 cm-1 by the inelastic scattering of "cold neutrons" (0.005e.v.). The spectrum of KHF2 is in agreement with previous infrared measurements and shows a peak at 147 mV corresponding to a deformation frequency v2 of the F-H-F group and a broad peak at 13 mV due to a libration of this group. The observed spectra for KH2F3, NaH2F3 solid and liquid HF were compared with that for KHF2 considering the known results… more

Sample calculation -- GVR values for determining tritium separations costs

Description: This paper shows the calculations for the Gas Volume Ratio, defined as the Total Gas Volume/Target Volume. Using 20 tons of LiAlO{sub 2} as the target, 5028 cubic feet of tritium, protium, and helium are produced. The target volume equals 312.5 cubic feet of aluminate, so that the GVR = 5028/312.5 = 16.1.
