SOLUBLE NEUTRON POISONS AS A PRIMARY CRITICALITY CONTROL IN SHIELDED AND CONTAINED RADIOCHEMICAL FACILITIES

Description: Studies indicated that the use of soluble poisons as a primary criticality control offers economic and other advantages in that it permits the factors of vessel size and shape and solution concentrations to be dictated by considerations other than those of criticality. It is believed that soluble poison criticality control can be made as reliable as other methods of coaditional control if the application is preceded by adequate development work and is monitored by multiple. independent safeguar… more

Savannah River Site computing architecture migration guide

Description: The SRS Computing Architecture is a vision statement for site computing which enumerates the strategies which will guide SRS computing efforts for the 1990s. Each strategy is supported by a number of feature statements which clarify the strategy by providing additional detail. Since it is a strategic planning document, the Architecture has sitewide applicability and endorsement but does not attempt to specify implementation details. It does, however, specify that a document will be developed to… more

Internal R and D task summary report: analytical methods development

Description: International Coal Refining Company (ICRC) conducted two research programs to develop analytical procedures for characterizing the feed, intermediates,and products of the proposed SRC-I Demonstration Plant. The major conclusion is that standard analytical methods must be defined and assigned statistical error limits of precision and reproducibility early in development. Comparing all SRC-I data or data from different processes is complex and expensive if common data correlation procedures are n… more

SMEAR STUDY OF D205 (CHEMICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING)

Description: The smear study shows that at least 80% of the floorsmear surveys which were made in a clear area of the Chemical Engineering Building during the course of this study indicated radioactivity equal to or less than 10 d/m/ ft/sup 2/ alpha and equal to or less than 200 d/m/ft/sup 2/ beta-gamma. The smear survey technique is excellent for use in a highhazard area, such as a Pu facility. It is capable of detecting as little as 10 d/m/ft/sup 2/ of alpha contamination with a high degree of confidence.… more

Model validation and sensitivity analysis of solar collector loops. Final technical report

Description: The experimental solar collector systems at Middlebury College have been modified to permit short time resolution studies of solar collector loop performance. A variety of experiments have been performed to measure the following system properties: (a) collector efficiency, (b) collector response to step changes in insolation, (c) collector response to the introduction of cold inlet water, and (d) pump cycling as a function of control sensor location and set points. Data from these experiments h… more

Fire and Explosion Tests of Plutonium Gloveboxes

Description: To test the fire and explosion resistance of new plutonium metallurgy gloveboxes and to obtain information pertinent to fire control, fire and explosion tests were conducted in one of the gloveboxes. It was found that over l0% oxygen is required for non-metal, and that over 5% oxygen is required for freely burning metal fires. However, metal chips will burn with as little as 1% oxygen if additional heat is furnished. Standard dry chemical, Met-L-X, and carbon dioxide extinguishers were excellen… more

Enhancing the use of coals by gas reburning-sorbent injection

Description: The objective of this project is to evaluate and demonstrate a cost effective emission control technology for acid rain precursors, oxides of nitrogen (NO{sub x}) and sulfur (SO{sub x}), on two coal fired utility boilers in Illinois. The units selected are representative of pre-NSPS design practices: tangential and cyclone fired. Work on a third unit, wall fired, is on hold'' because of funding limitations. The specific objectives are to demonstrate reductions of 60 percent in NO{sub x} and 50 … more

In-Home Performance of Exempt Pellet Stoves in Medford, Oregon.

Description: Pellet stoves that are considered exempt'' operate at an air-to-fuel ratio in excess of 35:1. They therefore qualify for exemption from the emissions certification process. A primary goal of this project was to determine how a sample of such stoves, operated in homes, would perform compared to their certified cousins,'' which were evaluated the previous year. In-home performance data documenting emissions from exempt stoves and net delivered efficiencies was particularly desired. This project e… more

Substitute safety rods: Physics design and NTG calibration

Description: Under certain assumed accident conditions, an SRS reactor may loose most of its bulk moderator while maintaining flow to fuel assemblies. If this occurs immediately after operation at power, components normally dependent on convective heat transfer to the moderator will heat up with the possibility of melting that component. One component at risk is the safety rod. Tests have shown that the current cadmium safety rod, which contains aluminum as well as cadmium, can fail at temperatures only sli… more
