Pilot-plant studies of mercury-catalyzed dissolving of aluminum-jacketed fuel elements

Description: The objective of the experimental studies reported herein was to demonstrate the laboratory-developed mercury-catalyzed dissolving procedure on a pilot-plant scale by conducting a series of test dissolutions of aluminum-jacketed, unirradiated uranium in the 150-gallon downdraft type semiworks dissolver in 321 Building. It was desired to establish: (1) the effect of the larger-scale operation on time cycle; (2) dissolution rates of aluminum and uranium, (3) controllability of the reactions, and … more

Stability of Florothene Under Exposure to Gamma Radiation

Description: The stability of fluorothene (polytrifluorochloroethylene, Kel-F) to gamma radiation has been investigated to estimate the probable life expectancy of fluorothene equipment exposed to Purex process solutions. Samples of fluorothene were exposed to total gamma radiation dosages up to 10 degree R. The results of these tests substantiate the findings reported by Sisman and Bopp in their compilation of data on the affects of radiation on plastics.
