[Outdoor Swimming Pool in Summer]

Description: Photograph of people at the outdoor swimming pool on June 6, 1959. In the image the people in the swimming pool are separated by ropes according to the height of the pool. Closest to the camera is the shallow end indicated by the larger amount of children playing. In the image someone has just jumped into the water from the high diving board, a girl is standing at the edge of a diving board to the left while another boy stands waiting on the other. The lifeguard on the right is standing in his … more

[Man Diving in Outdoor Swimming Pool]

Description: Photograph of a man jumping from the high diving board at the outdoor swimming pool. In the image the man is mid-jump with arms pulled behind him. People in the background are lounging on benches and two are standing at the bases of the diving boards watching. A line of trees obscures the building behind them. The pool functioned from the 1920s to 1986.

Existing reactor expansion study basis

Description: The latest HAPO Five Year Program review, HW-59633, forecasts substantial increases in Pu production from the eight existing Hanford reactors over the next several years. These production increases would be attained by a combination of several methods which include increased reactor power levels resulting from higher process water flow rates and coolant bulk outlet temperatures, improved time operated efficiency, higher conversion ratios, and reduced transient reactivity losses. In order to pro… more

Radiometallurgical examination of PT-IP-221-A measurement of flow channel temperature in 7 rod cluster fuel element (RM-287)

Description: Eight Zircaloy-2 jacketed, natural uranium seven-rod cluster elements were irradiated in a KER loop to determine flow channel temperature characteristics. One of the elements, which had 200 MWD/T exposure, was sent to the Radiometallurgy Laboratory for examination in April 1959. An outside rod of the cluster was sectioned and examined metallographically. No cracks or flaws were observed in the uranium cladding or bonding.

Technical basis for establishing process tube pressure limits for KER loops 2 and 3 and for the NPR Prototype Facility

Description: In compliance with a request from Coolant Testing Operation, the Reactor Engineering Operation has made a study to determine the maximum operating pressure limits for the pertinent Zircaloy-2 process tubes. Since these tubes shall be used for testing NPR fuel elements, it is considered desirable that KER Loops 2 and 3 permit operation at temperatures of around 300{degrees}C while the NPR prototype facility permit operation at about 316{degrees}C in a manner such that there is minimum hazard to … more

Irradiation performance of enriched uranium clad in stainless steel: PT-IP-123-A. Final report

Description: Early in the development of an extended surface fuel element for use in the NPR, several 7-rod cluster fuel elements were irradiated to determine the dimensional stability of such geometries at high burnups. These elements were fabricated from small diameter uranium rods clad unbonded in stainless steel tubes and assembled in a rod cluster geometry by various support devices. Zircaloy clad fuel rods were not yet available, the stainless steel clad rods therefore served as a suitable material wh… more

Neutron flux in K Reactor discharge area during operation

Description: Based on the activation of gold foils in an hydrogeneous medium, the neutron flux incident on the rear wall of the discharge area of the KE reactor is estimated to be 6000 M/cm{sup 2} sec. The effective energy of the neutrons is estimated to be approximately 4 Mev. Neither of these values confirm order-of-magnitude estimates of the neutron flux and neutron energy expected to exist in the discharge area.

Revised recommendations for the 100-K Area Project CG-775 raw water requirements

Description: As a part of Project CG-775, 100-K Area Water Plant Expansion, the capacity of the 181-K river pump installations will be increased. Recommendations for the raw water requirements based on a reactor flow of 175,000 gpm were presented in document HW-55877. Since then a new fuel element has been developed for the K reactors, resulting in a lower reactor system curve. It is recommended that the design criteria for the 181-K river pumps be based on a total raw water flow of 213,000 gpm with spare p… more

Comments on calcined 1WW storage

Description: Studies are under ray in Chemical Research and Development to-provide the technical ``know-how`` necessary to calcine Purex 1WW and safely store the solid product. The solid product can be stored as the particulate solid from the calciner or, after further treatment, as a solid matrix or melt. In this regard, Chemical Research is studying a PO{sub 4}BO{sub 2} melt. This document presents expected fission product heat generation rates in the solid product, shows the effect of various variables o… more
