Licensing and accident reviews for an HNEC

Description: The purpose of this review was to identify siting or other concerns that may indicate limitations on the ability to license a nuclear energy center at Hanford. Several studies on nuclear energy centers have been completed and some have included licensing (regulatory) aspects of siting nuclear power centers. This review however, was primarily to identify any limitations that may affect licensing specifically at an HNEC. The scope included examining existing criteria for siting nuclear facilities… more

Safety review of conceptual fusion power plants

Description: The potential public safety impacts from accidents in conceptual fusion power plants were investigated. Fusion was found to have some potential for accidents, as does any energy generating system. Functions of fusion power plants were identified that possess sufficient potential for an accidental release of toxic materials to the environment. An assessment was made of the impact of the potential accidents and recommendations are included for R and D that will allow incorporation of safety conce… more

Reliability of generation at a Hanford Nuclear Energy Center (HNEC)

Description: A nuclear energy center characteristically would have large amounts of electric generating capacity in a relatively small geographical area. HNEC is a conceptual nuclear energy center containing 20 generating units of 1200 MW capacity each, located at Hanford, Washington. DS is an alternative concept; namely, 20 generating units of similar capacity in six clusters at sites along the Columbia and Willamette rivers in Washington and Oregon. HNEC in year 2005 could provide up to 30% of system capa… more

OPTIMIZATION OF FISSION FRAGMENT CATCHER FOIL EXPOSURE TIME

Description: The exposure-time for fission fragment catcher foils, used in nuclear reactor power mapping, was arbitrarily set at 20 minutes. Work performed to evaluate this choice and to attempt an optimization of the exposure time is reported. A true optimum was not found. Forty minute runs are suggested, however, as a practical optimization and as an alternative to the 20 minute runs in current usage. (auth)

Proliferation resistance design of a plutonium cycle (Proliferation Resistance Engineering Program: PREP)

Description: This document describes the proliferation resistance engineering concepts developed to counter the threat of proliferation of nuclear weapons in an International Fuel Service Center (IFSC). The basic elements of an International Fuel Service Center are described. Possible methods for resisting proliferation such as processing alternatives, close-coupling of facilities, process equipment layout, maintenance philosophy, process control, and process monitoring are discussed. Political and institut… more

Study Report: High Speed Data Acquisition System for PRTR

Description: High speed data handling and computing systems are coming into increasing use in the automatic control of complex industrial processes. One of the next significant developments in reactor design is believed to be the application of high speed data handling and control systems to nuclear reactors. This document is a study of such a system intended for use with the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor.

Air Sample Activity vs Flow Rate

Description: A bibliography on the subject of air sample activity vs flow rate has been prepared. The findings in two documents reviewed have been applied directly to this problem. It is concluded that air sample activity is not dependent on flow rate when sampling particles whose average diameter in 0.06 micron or greater.

Estimated incremental costs for NRC licensees to implement the US/IAEA safeguards agreement

Description: A study was recently completed for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commision (NRC) by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) to identify the incremental cost of implementing the US/IAEA safeguards treaty agreement to eligible NRC licensees. Sources for the study were cost estimates from several licensees who will be affected by the agreement and cost analyses by PNL staff. The initial cost to all eligible licensees to implement the agreement is estimated by PNL to range from $1.9 to $7.2 million. The… more

Final Safeguards Analysis, High Temperature Lattice Test Reactor. Revision 1

Description: The PMACS `reactor-normal` signal signifies that important process variables do not exceed their set points, that various interlocks are properly set, that functional tests of the computer operation are satisfactory, and that the reactor flux level and period derived from two additional, independent, and dissimilar channels are within set limits. This safety circuit combines the features of redundancy, dissimilar components, and frequent testing which are required for best reliability. The expe… more

Technical Support for Improving the Licensing Regulatory Base for Selected Facilities Associated with the Front End of the Fuel Cycle

Description: Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) was asked by the NRC Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards (NMSS) to determine the adequacy of its health, safety and environmental regulatory base as a guide to applicants for licenses to operate UF{sub 6} conversion facilities and fuel fabrication plants. The regulatory base was defined as the body of documented requirements and guidance to licensees, including laws passed by Congress, Federal Regulations developed by the NRC to implement the laws… more

Mobile energy depot feasibility study: summary report

Description: Declassified 28 Aug 1973. Various methods of producing and using nuclear power for military land vehicles and other military equipment were investigated and evaluated. A nuclear-powered mobile energy depot (MED) would move with advancing armies and produce vehicle fuels from materials readily available in the field. This would make mechanized units independent of external fuel supplies for extended periods, and permit them to move quickly and easily to areas impossible for units that depend on … more
