REMOTE DISSOLUTION AND ANALYTICAL PROGRAM FOR IRRADIATED THORIUM

Description: A remote dissolution and analytical program for irradiated thorium is given. The aluminum jacket on the slug was dissolved with 6M nitric acid and 0.005M mercuric nitrate. After a water wash, the thorium dissolution was accomplished with concentrated nitric acid made 0.04M in hydrofluoric acid. Weighing, dissolving, and sampling were done remotely in the multicurie cell at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant. Handling techniques for weighing and dissolving the slugs are described.

Analysis of LOFT steam generator main feed piping loop seal modification

Description: The stress analysis is presented for the proposed loop seal modification to the LOFT Steam Generator Main Feed Piping. THE SAP IV finite element computer program was used to analyze normal, upset, emergency, and faulted conditions. Results of the analysis indicate that the modified main feed piping system will satisfy all structural adequacy criteria specified in Subarticle NC-3650 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Results also show that the isolation snubber configuration, specified… more

HOT CELL DEMONSTRATION OF ZIRFLEX AND SULFEX PROCESSES. Report No. 3

Description: ABS>Hot cell demonstration of the Zirflex decladding process coupled with a modified Purex solvent extraction process was completed using specimens of Zircaloy-clad UO/sub 2/ irradiated to levels of 6150-14,600 Mwd/TU. Soluble losses of uranium and plutonium to the decladding solutions were about 0.05%. Centrifugation of the decladding solution is probably necessary to remove up to 1% of the UO/sub 2/ present as fines resulting from the fracture of low (93 to 95%) density pellets; high (96%) de… more

Molecular biological enhancement of coal biodesulfurization. [Rhodococcus, thiobacillus]

Description: The objective of this project is to produce one or more microorganisms capable of removing the organic and inorganic sulfur in coal. The original specific technical objectives of the project were to: clone and characterize the genes encoding the enzymes of the 4S'' pathway (sulfoxide/sulfone/sulfonate/sulfate) for release of organic sulfur from coal; return multiple copies of genes to the original host to enhance the biodesulfurization activity of that organism; transfer this pathway into a fas… more

DISSOLUTION OF BeO-AND Al$sub 2$O$sub 3$-BASE REACTOR FUEL ELEMENTS. PART I

Description: Aqueous methods for recovering uranium from BeO- and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/- base gas-cooled-reactor fuel elements are being evaluated. Two methods for processing Hastelloy-X--clad pelletized BeO-base fuels containing 60 to 70% UO/ sub 2/, such as the GCRE and MGCR, seem feasible. One method involves mechanical stripping or chopping of the cladding followed by leaching of the uranium from the fuel pellets with boiling 6-l3M HNO/sub 3/. In the other method the cladding and UO/sub 2/ are dissolved in … more

Additional information for impact response of the restart safety rods

Description: WSRC-RP-91-677 studied the structural response of the safety rods under the conditions of brake failure and accidental release. It was concluded that the maximum impact loading to the safety rod is 6020 pounds based on conservative considerations that energy dissipation attributable to fluid resistance and reactor superstructure flexibility. The staffers of the Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board reviewed the results and inquired about the extent of conservatism. By request of the RESTART tea… more

Inherently safe nuclear-driven internal combustion engines

Description: A family of nuclear driven engines is described in which nuclear energy released by fissioning of uranium or plutonium in a prompt critical assembly is used to heat a working gas. Engine performance is modeled using a code that calculates hydrodynamics, fission energy production, and neutron transport self-consistently. Results are given demonstrating a large negative temperature coefficient that produces self-shutoff of energy production. Reduced fission product inventory and the self-shutoff … more

Development of copper sulfide/cadmium sulfide thin film solar cells. First technical progress report, 13 July 1979 to 12 October 1979

Description: Preparation of CdS films by evaporation from a single graphite source, as generally used by the Institute of Energy Conversion (IEC) group at the University of Delaware, has been implemented. Previously at Westinghouse, four evaporation sources were used to permit uniform coverage of large area substrates. The graphite source used in this period is somewhat smaller than the IEC design to permit accommodation to the heater geometry currently available. Initial efforts with the single source evap… more

Radiochemical Processing-Off-Site Transportation and Ultimate Storage Problems

Description: Safe and economic methods of handling radioactive materials off-site are required for the successful operation of nuclear chemical plants. These occasions arise in the shipment of spent fuel, radioactive, isotopes, and liquid wastes. An unsolved problem exists in the development of techniques and sites for the final disposal of waste products. (auth)

Analysis of the new GCFR upper and lower plenum flow-through shields

Description: Analysis of the proposed GCFR upper and lower plenum flow-through shields has been performed using both discrete ordinate (DOT) and Monte Carlo (MORSE) methods. Several shields having one change of direction in the coolant path (chevron) and two changes of direction (herringbone) were investigated. The shields were modeled as unit cells with periodic boundary conditions. From plenum fluence calculations and design constraints at the reactor vessel liner, it was determined that all the shield co… more
