Hanford Atomic Products Operation Five-Year Program

Description: The General Electric Company has prepared in past years numerous documents for the Atomic Energy Commission outlining in some detail its current and proposed programs at Hanford. Last year, at the request of the commission, program types of information were consolidated into one document, the HAPO Five Year Program. That document was well received and useful to an extent that the General Electric Company was requested by the Commission to prepare another covering the fiscal years 1959 through 1… more

Radiation intensity at center 42 inch riser on waste storage tank (MJ-4)

Description: It is recommended that the actual intensity existing today above the liquid be measured before recommendations are made on cutting through the concrete seal. A detailed statement of work on this problem follows. The calculations have been filed. In the study of the feasibility of cutting through the concrete seal on the center riser of the waste storage tank the radiation intensity that would be encountered is critical because director operator contact would be required. The question of the rad… more

Radiological Sciences Department investigation radiation incident, Class I, No. 299

Description: Fragments of radioactive materials were deposited in the Redox area during August, 1953. By radiation monitoring, the location, physical properties, and dosage were determined. The cause was assumed to be the buildup of ammonium nitrate containing ruthenium on the filters of the Redox stack. The amount of occupational exposure, and the reasons why this incident happened were also discussed.

History of the project as of February 1, 1951

Description: In 1946, it was recommended, by the district engineer for the War Department, United States Engineer Office, that it was desirable to transfer all of the functions of production to Hanford, a production installation; thereby relieving the Argonne National Laboratory, a research installation, from production duties. This decision was based on the belief by Argonne National Laboratories that the principal problems of production were solved, as a result of a meeting held at Clinton Laboratories, O… more

Nuclear safety in manufacturing operations

Description: Nuclear safety is recognized as being of prime importance in the conduct of manufacturing operations here at HAPO. Responsibility for this safety is shared by the Engineering and Manufacturing Departments, with the former defining the hazards and the required precautionary limits, and the latter translating these specifications into effective operational controls and practices. The Manufacturing Department has just completed a thorough review of its position with respect to nuclear hazards cont… more

Fission Product Analysis of Urine

Description: A method has been adapted from ion exchange studies for removal of the fission products, Cs-137, Sr-90, and the rare earths for both untreated urine samples and the supernates from the precipitation steps in the TTA procedure for plutonium. Because of the excessive amount of eluant necessary to separate the fission products and the resulting time required to run a separation, a method was developed to remove the Sr-Y, Ce and Pr by chemical means and Cs from the raffinate of this extraction by i… more

Radioactive particles in the 234-5 Building ventilation exhaust

Description: The 234-5 Building ventilation exhaust is continuously sampled for the purpose of estimating the amount of radioactive (alpha emitting) material discharged to the atmosphere. Although a record is kept of the gross amount of radioactive material discharged, few data are available concerning the size and kind of active particles in the exhaust air. Knowledge of the particle size permits: (1) an estimate of the validity of samples drawn through the sampling system, (2) a better knowledge of what t… more

Control of ground contamination

Description: Portions of the Hanford Reservation in 1954 had significant particulate contamination from the Redox process. This paper is about the methods used to decontaminate the Reservation. The two methods are decontamination and access control. A general description of the ideas and benefits of each method is given. (MB)
