A prototype on-line work procedure system for radioisotope thermoelectric generator production

Description: An on-line system to manage work procedures is being developed to support radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) assembly and testing in a new production facility. This system implements production work procedures as interactive electronic documents executed at the work site with no intermediate printed form. It provides good control of the creation and application of work procedures and provides active assistance to the worker in performing them and in documenting the results. An extensiv… more

Resource book: Decommissioning of contaminated facilities at Hanford

Description: In 1942 Hanford was commissioned as a site for the production of weapons-grade plutonium. The years since have seen the construction and operation of several generations of plutonium-producing reactors, plants for the chemical processing of irradiated fuel elements, plutonium and uranium processing and fabrication plants, and other facilities. There has also been a diversification of the Hanford site with the building of new laboratories, a fission product encapsulation plant, improved high-lev… more

Decommissioning of the 105-F and 105-H fuel storage basin in the 100 Area at the Hanford Site

Description: The US Department of Energy (DOE) owns the eight surplus production reactors at the Hanford Site north of Richland, Washington. The fuel storage basins at the 105-F and 105-H reactors were filled with equipment, associated with the operation of the basins and clean fill in 1970. This was done to stabilize the residual sediment and a few feet of water in the reactors' fuel storage basins. This project investigates the subject basins to locate and remove overlooked fuel elements left in the basin… more

Wind dilution required to reduce to tolerance levels the activity due to xenon and iodine in HEW dissolver off-gases

Description: The radio-active xenon and iodine evolved during the dissolution of the uranium may present a health hazard within certain areas around the base of the stack through which the dissolver off-gases are discharged. Since the concentration of these elements in the uranium metal is directly proportional to the power of the pile* and is related to decay period of the metal in accordance with their half-lifes, the maximum rate of discharge of these elements from the stack at H.E.W. can be estimated fo… more

The effects of water quality on pile operation

Description: Tests have been made to study the effects of lowering process water pH from pH 7.7 to the range pH 6.2--7.3; of reducing the amount of sodium dichromate inhibitor added to the water; and of eliminating the filtration step in the water treatment process. The results on the pH testing showed that reducing the pH of the cooling water would reduce aluminum corrosion rates. The plant specification has been changed to lower process water pH from 7.7 to 7.3 and plant scale testing of pH 7.0 water is i… more

Radioisotope concentrations in the PRTR primary coolant and helium system during operation with a failed fuel element(s)

Description: Fission product measurements in the PRTR primary D{sub 2}O and helium systems during the startup tests in May 1961, showed the presence of a defective fuel elements(s). Reactor operation was discontinued during the latter part of May and during June for reactor maintenance and fuel element inspection. On resumption of operation on July 1, a sampling and analytical program was initiated to study the radioisotope concentrations resulting from this defective element(s) which were present in the pr… more

Final report on Process Test MR-105-2, Orifice selection during reactor operation

Description: The test established that a practical orifice selecting device can be made and used to control the water flow rate to a process tube at either of two accurately calibrated rates with no loss of accuracy in flow measurement. With the selector tested, there was no flow restriction during the orifice transition. The pressure fluctuations during the change were small in magnitude, and caused no operational problem. The test demonstrated that orifice selection is feasible from operating other factor… more

Westinghouse Hanford Company risk management strategy for retired surplus facilities

Description: This paper describes an approach that facilitates management of personnel safety and environmental release risk from retired, surplus Westinghouse Hanford Company-managed facilities during the predemolition time frame. These facilities are located in the 100 and 200 Areas of the 1,450-km{sup 2} (570-mi{sup 2}) Hanford Site in Richland, Washington. The production reactors are located in the 100 Area and the chemical separation facilities are located in the 200 Area. This paper also includes a de… more

Reliability and safety of the electrical power supply complex of the Hanford production reactors

Description: Safety has been and must continue to be the inviolable modulus by which the operation of a nuclear reactor must be judged. A malfunction in any reactor may well result in a release of fission products which may dissipate over a wide geographical area. Such dissipation may place the health, happiness and even the lives of the people in the region in serious jeopardy. As a result, the property damage and liability cost may reach astronomical values in the order of magnitude of billions of dollars… more

The Preparation and Irradiation Behavior of Chemically-Nickel Plated Aluminum-Jacketed Fuel Elements

Description: Nickel plated aluminum was considered as a jacketing material for nuclear fuel elements as early as 1954, and both static and dynamic corrosion tests were carried out by Argonne National Laboratories and by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., employing demineralized water at temperatures of from 260 to 316{degree}C. Results generally indicated that the nickel had excellent corrosion resistance; however, difficulties were experienced in achieving satisfactory continuity and adhesion of the plate; subs… more

GEH-4-32, Bonded segmented fuel element irradiation

Description: We have prepared what we call a bonded segmented fuel element. This fuel element has characteristics which make it an attractive prospect for high specific power operation at relatively low uranium temperatures. The fuel slug is made up of six longitudinal segments; each segment being bonded to the aluminum webbing and tubing that encases it. The pertinent information for this irradiation is summarized along with fabrication details and hazards, thermal aspects and calculations, and figures.

Production test-080 - physics tests at D reactor deactivation interim report - experimental data

Description: Production Test-080 authorized the conduct of certain physics tests during the deactivation of D Reactor. The primary objective of the test was to measure certain physics parameters which could be used to check current computational models. In this report are presented a brief chronology of the tests and a tabulation of the experimental data. In general, data processing has not progressed beyond simple reduction of the raw experimental data to a form more easily used in future analytical compar… more
