AN INFORMATION STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM FOR IRRADIATION EFFECTS IN METALS

Description: An information storage and retrieval system (PIC) was developed, utilizing the IBM 7090 computer, for handling data pertaining to the effects of neutron irradiation on metals. The input includes a reference identification, an appropriate abstract or extract summarizing the article, code identification parameters analogous to those used by the ASM-SLA Literature Classification System, and special codes identifying relevant irradiation and testing parameters. The output contains the same data plu… more

Long-term neutron activation products of nickel-58

Description: Certain advantages, such as higher strength at elevated temperature, have led to the use of alloys containing large percentages of nickel as a replacement for aluminum components. One example is the Inconel sheathing of control rods for the Hanford reactors. Since some of these components may remain in a reactor several years prior to removal, the neutron-activation products resulting from multiple chain reactions may become important in determining the radiation exposure levels at discharge.

Production reactor process tube film composition and radionuclide inventory studies. Status report

Description: The discharge of radioactivity from Hanford production reactors to the Columbia River has been studied for a number of years. The primary purposes of these studied have been to learn of the factors influencing production reactor effluent radioactivity concentrations and to develop methods for lowering the discharge concentrations of these radionuclides. In 1962 the Coolant Systems Development Operation (CSDO) began work on this program to determine the in-reactor film compositions and the inven… more

Items for over-all Redox contamination improvement

Description: In view of contamination difficulties within the Redox operation, number of items are being considered to improve this situation. It is the objective of this document to list and describe seven times which it is felt would contribute most toward improvement. It is also an objective to present for RDS-D-12 Group consideration the recommendations of representatives from Manufacturing, Technical, and Design in these matters with the expectation that a project proposal written in general terms for … more

Nuclear metallurgy lectures. Chapter 9, Fabrication and heat treatment of uranium

Description: This chapter presents the highlights of the fabrication and heat treatment of uranium with emphasis on HAPO type core material. For pile use three properties of uranium are of prime interest; grain size, type and degree of preferred orientation, and the mechanical properties.

The sequential separation and determination of arsenic-76 and phosphorous-32 in reactor effluent water

Description: A procedure is described for the sequential separation and determination of Arsenic-76 and Phosphorous-32 in reactor effluent water. The analysis can be performed in less than one hour and the arsenic fraction is scanned immediately after separation on a multi-channel gamma spectrometer. The discrete gamma energy of .56 MEV for Arsenic-76 makes further purification unnecessary. The organic phase containing the Phosphorous-32 is dry mounted on a one-inch stainless steel dish for beta counting.

Redox contamination: Terminal status report

Description: The Redox ruthenium contamination problem has two distinct phases; the environs contamination as a result of stack emissions, and the in-canyon contamination which controls time and cost factors for plant maintenance. On stack emissions, the probability of serious environs contamination exists so long as the batch-type, permanganate headend ruthenium volatilization process is used. Knowledge of the characteristics of volatilized ruthenium is not adequate today to give complete assurance that th… more

The less familiar elements in the Atomic Energy program

Description: Many factors are responsible for the rapid growth of analytical chemistry during the past ten to fifteen years (This report was written in 1953). One of the most important of these factors is the greatly increased significance to present day chemistry of many elements that in the recent past were principally chemical curiosities. Since the Atomic Energy program is concerned with many such elements, it is of interest to discuss the cause for this concern and the resulting effect on the field of … more

Proposed alternate dissolving flowsheets for the Redox plant

Description: Current operation of the Redox plant dissolvers results in evolution of ammonia during the slug jacket removal step. Staggering the schedules of the dissolving cycles of the three dissolvers is being practiced at present to prevent the formation of ammonium nitrate crystals in the stack gases, but this procedure limits the dissolver capacity. Steps are being taken to provide ammonia scrubbers for the dissolvers to eliminate this need for close scheduling of dissolving operations. It has been pr… 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

Through reactor decontamination: A technical status report

Description: Attention has focused on the feasibility of conducting through-reactor, internal decontaminations in order to reduce rear face radiation levels and alleviate personnel exposure problems. The purpose of this report is to review the technical aspects of ``through-reactor`` decontaminations and to present an interim recommendation regarding the use of this method.

Justification for extending scram recovery time at C Reactor

Description: Slug ruptures at C Reactor are costing a considerable amount of production and are limiting reactor power levels. A large portion of this production is lost because the ``quickie`` procedure cannot be used with unstruck ruptures. Currently there are two reasons for this condition: Insufficient reactivity is available to recover after a rupture is removed with the ``quickie`` equipment, and if the ``quickie`` method were attempted, there would be many failures due to stuck rear caps and improper… more
